Global Supply Chain Crisis 2021: Megathread - A cozy thread for watching the supply chain fall apart just in time for the holidays

[Sped Xing]

Correct.

I had one kill itself by running straight into the plywood I use to back the hutch just for no reason.

Maybe it's smart enough to see the reason.

I never have managed to get mine in a row, and now you think I can get them in a circle?

Well ahead of you on that one. City life and country life have tradeoffs; suburbia is for lunatics who take people to court over whether a lawn is mowed often enough.

I don’t even know what this guy’s going off about. If it isn’t roosters or dogs, it’s ghetto music, ghetto birds, random airplanes, dude watching Spider-Man at 3 am. drones, emergency vehicles, random bigass trucks, domestic abuse victims… just buy earplugs and get over it.

Tbf, chickens can and will drown themselves with rain water. I think that most birds are dumber than a box of rocks.

That's why they can keep running around after having their heads chopped off. Too dumb to realize they're dead.

K, well I will move next to you with my 10 roosters, 20 half feral dogs with anxiety issues, my sound system that would make most people envious that I only like to blast starting at midnight, plus all my drunk and loud friends. You have earplugs, it is cool.

That isn’t any different from my actual neighbors. Even if the noise did bother me, my own stereo drowns everything else out anyway.

Honestly, I think people in urban/suburban areas wo want good eggs should look into Coturnix Quail. They're quiet, even the roosters, and only require like a square foot of space each, so in a 6x6 hutch you can comfortably keep 20. The eggs are around a third of the size of chicken eggs and in the summer you can suppliment their diet with clover, dandelion greens and wild berries to cut down on feed costs a little. Their eggs are around 1/4-1/3 the size of a chicken egg, so if you have 16 hens you can easily get the equilivent of 4 chicken eggs a day in a 4x4 space. You could do that on the balcony of a condo if you really wanted to and just say they're pets.

God damn they're retarded, though. Like, I think they're literally stupider than most insects.

I had no idea there were other quailfags on the Farms. I totally agree with everything except I'd say if you are in an apartment or condo and keeping them on a balcony then only having hens is better. I tried to keep a flock in the suburbs and my neighbors called the city on me over the quail roo.

I did however know a guy who kept them in plywood bins (about bathtub sized) with woodshavings in his garage. Aside from being a bit dusty the garage wasn't unpleasant and you couldn't hear the roos outside.

I fully agree that they're the dumbest (and most suicidal) birds.

I may consider these ideas. Only problem is my dog- a couch potato who nonetheless comes from a very good sporting line- heard the video I found of this "rooing" and presented herself immediately as if to say "this is relevant to my interests and I would like seconds."

A good dog.

These birds sound CWC levels of special, so perfect for us.

So average black neighbor, just replace the roosters with crackheads!

Keep in mind there are laws against owning too much ‘livestock’ in our shithole state of California. So check state laws as well as local ordinances. A dog will help deter coyotes, so that’s actually good for you.

Goddamn it all -- you guys may have sent me down a rabbit hole -- roommate wants some pets (cannot have mammals due to allergies) and birds were suggested. I very much like eggs and after watching a bunch of YouTube videos, you can easily claim they are pet birbs.

I love the fact they're shaped like eggs (or like a kiwi according to the last photo).

Well ahead of you on that one. City life and country life have tradeoffs; suburbia is for lunatics who take people to court over whether a lawn is mowed often enough.

Suburbia is for people who still want to be able to take advantage of urban amenities, but still be able to afford enough space for their kids to play outside without worrying about traffic, and go to a school that doesn't have metal detectors.

No, because every suburb across this big ass country is exactly the same, you see. You will bow to the authority of the HOA!

In all seriousness, I would never buy a home anywhere with an HOA, and I'm glad my little town bordering on suburban/rural has no such groups. Otherwise, the meth head down the road wouldnt be able to leave a 6 foot teddy bear slumped between his bushes for a year in all weather, looking like its been the victim of a murder. It's community theater, and give the neighbors something to talk and laugh about. You can't find that kind of local charm in a HOA community, that's for damned sure!

I still dont understand what the fuck a HOA is or how it's legal.

It blows my mind that there are people living with five levels of government over them.

HOA -> City -> County -> State ->Federal

Then you have to pay all five of those levels of government to fuck you up the ass.

As annoying as HOAs can be, it won't bust your car window open to go through the glove box, or send your kid home from school with a black eye and a busted lip, or use the playground to organize drug deals. That said, I found a neighborhood that doesn't have one. Sure, a block over is the crazy lady who puts LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE DECORATION out for LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE HOLIDAY, but you know, she's fun. Really a nice person if you get to know her.

Of course, that means we have some pretty goofy looking properties around, so our house values aren't skyrocketing quite as fast as the places where it looks like you live on a movie set.

I agree completely. I honestly only know of a few HOAs in my area, none in my town, but in some rich neighborhoods of nearby cities, and some of the larger towns have bulldozed woods and forests to build McMansion eyesore burbs, and several of them have HOAs.

 

[The Ugly One]

I mean, I get it. Some people want a McMansion in a perfectly picturesque neighborhood and will shit bricks if somebody changes that on them. Me? I like to live in a place where there's some dude doing freelance auto repair in his garage and the crazy lady put out 500 plastic snowmen for Christmas. I don't mind humanity at all. I'm just not sacrificing my family's safety to indulge liberal bromides about diversity.

I have that same lady down the road the other direction, equidistant as the meth head. She's a super nice lady, and she's on the village board.

Also, most of the houses in my neighborhood are actually really nice, especially for post WW2 construction. I bought my house for 70k cash, and I've had offers for 150k+. Of course I've put about 30k into it since I bought it.

I mean, I get it. Some people want a McMansion in a perfectly picturesque neighborhood and will shit bricks if somebody changes that on them.

Fuck that, I want trees. There's never anything bigger than freshly transplanted, tiny, sickly trees in those McMansion nightmares. I have 5 giant trees on my lot, and I fucking love my maples and oaks.
