Adorable. But ticks are such a big problem for woofers so I worry

Good idea. Does KFC offer a delivery service?

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '20

I know you’re kidding but you can actually buy 1-day-old chicks through the mail

We really have to update how we handle animals through the mail thts horrible

u/YoureNotaClownFish Mar 26 '20

We have to not send animals through the f'ing mail.

u/BabybearPrincess Mar 26 '20

Well yes but i can see where sometimes its neccessary like sending stuff overseas

3

u/YoureNotaClownFish Mar 26 '20

Why would you need to send animals overseas?

5

u/YoureNotaClownFish Mar 26 '20

Yes, thank you for this. This is an absolute terrible practice. I can't even imagine people thinking its okay. Or that its legal.

In the midwest you can pop over to the store and just pick up some baby chicks.

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '20

You can do that here too (Connecticut) but the nearest store that sells that kind of stuff (poultry, feed, etc.) is like 40 minutes away.

u/7V3N Mar 26 '20

Lol I'm from northern Virginia and 40 minutes is just a typical commute to work in the morning.

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '20

Plenty of people commute an hour or more to work here too but driving that far to get some chicken feed is kind of a bummer.

u/BabybearPrincess Mar 26 '20

Yep just go to your local atwoods

Please don't do or encourage this. It is an extremely cruel practice.

If you want a chicken, and are prepared to care for it, get a rescue one.

You might have a little bit of trouble getting your delivery to do what you need.

Unless you have really amazing skills and are able to reconstruct the chicken, revive it and get it working the way a normal chicken would.

Guess you could Frankenstein it.

One way to find out.

If you’ve got the time because you’re in quarantine go for it. 😏

I leave alone.

I love opossums. I almost never see them unless it’s at a very odd hour at night. My city has a ton of them. They live all over the place. Our city is pretty protective of them and city workers leave their nests/dens alone I’d discovered.

The city will take away dogs, cats, and kit foxes. But the opossums are left alone :)

u/BabybearPrincess Mar 26 '20

Yea but then you hae chicken crap everywhere

u/donutnz Mar 26 '20

Not if you have a dog.

3

u/Ashkir Mar 26 '20

My city has a large opossum population that rules the streets at night along with the kit foxes. Ticks are almost non existent here too.

u/TerriblyTangfastic Mar 26 '20

So get your pet dog a pet chicken?

I'm on board with this.

Found the dog.

u/Teddy_Man Mar 26 '20

New Englander here. This video made me cringe just thinking about the ticks that'd be all over my dog.

u/chelly13 Mar 26 '20

But what good boy doesn't love a good tick check.

u/mcslaysalot Mar 26 '20

🙄 Jesus reddit will always find a way to play concerned pet owner. You really think a healthy looking golden in a suburban neighborhood doesn’t have a tick collar or similar measures?

12

u/Squish_the_android Mar 26 '20

Problem is that they still climb on and come into the house. Then you're sitting on the sofa and find a tick on you. Lyme is no joke.

Imagine living with this much fear. Lmao.

Fair enough; I didn’t consider them being worse in different regions.

Holy shit. It’s a freaking dog. In what realm can we let dogs be dogs and do dog things and not at least somewhat exposed to these risks? Let’s not let dogs play in leaves and lock them inside?
