ugly bitch

These are some ducks fron my farm, say something nice about them

>>15264748
Probably tastes better than she looks

>>15264763
>>15264748
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

>>15264763
I miss having ducks

>>15264763
cute quackers

>>15264748
Nice to meat ya!

>>15264763
hey I guess being a bird ain't all it's QUACKED up to be!!

>>15264748
Turkeys are ugly motherfucks in the first place.

As an aside, I got to wondering about why we don't see turkey eggs for sale despite all the turkey farms. The eggs are perfectly edible and about twice the size of a chicken egg. The problem being that turkeys simply don't shit out eggs nearly as fast or consistently as chickens do. It doesn't seem like anyone's looked into breeding turkeys to lay more eggs either, since the eggs really aren't that much different than chicken eggs besides the size.

>>15264748
Made to be QUACKED by BBC (big bird dick)

>>15264807
Haha

>>15264763
They look nice, do they have a duckhouse?

>>15264872


Yeah the thing u see in the background is their coop. Its a repurposed greenhouse. Its very comfy

>>15264904
Nice, they look very happy and healthy

>>15264748
Has a touch of fecal matter in her eye but it will wash out

>>15264936
>happy and healthy livestock
This angers the vegan

>>15264748
It’ll all be over soon

>>15264904
have you used it before? a coldframe without heating is still going to be/near freezing over winter

>>15264904
>>15264763
wholesome

>>15264748
Factory farms are hell and local organic farming is the way of the future

>>15264763
Uhh... guys???

>>15264982
There is a structure inside to help retain heat and i have a heat lamp in case of any freak weather, but what is great about ducks is they are extremely cold tolerant. They can be outside just fine without any structure for as low as 20 degrees.
Another thing i do is in winter i use deep bedding to keep the ground nice and warm. I have had a few days close to 0 and the ducks are doing just fine. The real challenge is giving them acsess to water. We have a water heater but i have found that just changing the water regularly helps a lot. Ducks have an internal temp of 107. They are very cold hardy.

>>15264763
Cool but do you have weed defence turkeys?

>>15265014
yeah I googled it after I posted and it turns out ducks are not potted plants. it must help that they've got down coats too. gotta love their quacking murmurs too

>>15264763
Ducks migrate south for the winter for a reason. You're fucking killing them retard.

>>15265028
I plan on getting turkeys eventually. I worry because their babies arent super hardy but i do want free run heritage turkeys who are amazing foragers and delicious (though idk if they will be as tasty as ducks). Ill probably get geese first, they can eat 90% of their diet in grass, are more resiliant against predation, and goose meat.

>>15265051
Never had any issues with the hatchlings, but they do stay in the barn at night and we have a heat lamp in there during the winter.

>>15265045
Wild ducks migrate. These guys can barely fly. They are too fat. I mean, wolves travel in packs and hunt large game. But dogs dont.

>>15264763
based duckposter

>>15265028
They defend the weeds? Because your property looks like shit.

>>15265066
Go mow your lawn again boomer.

>>15265059
Yeah no fucking shit, otherwise they would have since they can't live in the cold you absolute fucking retard.

>>15265075
You are kind of stupid, arent you?

>>15264748
Post twelve more
>>15264786
Really? I can't stand their poo

>>15264748
This makes me really sad.

>>15265148
yeah but that's the worst part

>>15264763
do they get cold??

>>15264748
No it’s not retard. It’s a diseased turkey, we don’t factory farm turkey in the US, only beef, pork, chicken and fish. We have a significant over abundance of wild turkeys here, and vast majority of turkey farms that do exist are small time operations that label their shit “organic” and “free range” and whatnot so they can trick retards into paying more money for the same fucking thing.

>>15265353
and John. Q. Public GOBBLES it up, typical...

>>15265353
Not saying OP isn't a faggot, but companies like Butterball do run large-scale factory farms.

>>15265386
You just know all of those guys have fucked at least one turkey in their life

>>15264763
paddle of faggots

>>15265407
>t. seething brown person

>>15265423
No that's if they had goats.

>>15265386
Factory farmer faggots like those 3 should be charged with 1 count of animal cruelty for every turkey they force to live in those conditions. Judge should have sentences run concurrently so they live in a cage designed for 2 people with 5 others (Tyrone, Darius, Marcus, Paco and Juan) for the rest of their lives.

>>15265524
Blah, blah, blah. Those turkeys are being raised to fucking die for money. They can barely comprehend their situation on even a minute fraction of the level a human thinks of. A human life is worth $10.2mil; a turkey is worth around $25.

>>15265095
i think he's saying you should keep them warm, anon

>>15265545
>never raised backyard birds and seen the level of intelligence, love and emotion they express
Stay in your mommy's basement and tell us all about how other animals experience the world, kiddo. And by all means, stay edgy, 'cause that's so cooooollll!

>>15265524
animals dont have souls
yes, i do own a pet

>>15265583
yeah those hens pecking each other to death sure are a smart bunch of softies
no wait hold on... they're meat that ain't done yet

>>15265583
I own chickens, turkeys and ducks and I can confirm that they are a little bit retarded.

>>15265580
No im going to freeze them to death. Im gonna put an air conditioner in their coop.

These are some of my chickens. Say something nice about them.

>>15265601
Not any of the people in this thread, but i gotta say man. After i moved to a place that had birds i started to respect them a little more. Still complete retards but man, they are RUTHLESS when it comes to slugs. And they do have a certain level of personality, especially if you've been fortunate enough to raise them from birth. The rabbits we kept for meat on the other hand... FUCK ME they were stupid. "well gee it's 35-40C outside but I've got ample shade and food and cold water, and even an old stone building I can go in to cool down. guess I'll just stand out in the sun and die" stupid fucks

>>15265595
Put a thousand people in a confined space and have them live there all their lives, I would bet some would go crazy and start killing others.

>>15265639
sluts for cock

>>15265641
Oh they are fucking dumb as hell but do a great job of keeping the ticks and mosquito population down at my place.

>>15265661
They probably would, but humans have complex brains and psychology while turkeys think little more than "eat, shit, sleep". Morgan's canon: don't use human experience to explain things animals do by instinct.

>>15265353
>there are no factory turkey farms in the USA
you have to be kidding me; did you just pull this out of your ass on the spot?
>>15265595
>they're meat that ain't done yet
I can't imagine being so coddled and removed from where my food comes from that I can't conceptualize meat as the living, breathing animal it once was. You sound like a gigantic pussy.

>>15265681
I worked in a chicken processing plant for two years. How many of those backyard babies have you slaughtered again?

>>15264965
I'm pretty sure vegans are more pissed off about factory farming

>>15265353
wow, nice wrong anon, great job

>>15265678
Same... fucking wish we could get some possums to deal with the ticks. got a whole bunch last year. but well, in rural germany we have enough problems with the spread of american raccoons to introduce yet another foreign mammal.

>>15265707
Vegans are pissed about domesticated animals. Especially if you eat them.
In their eyes homesteading is just as bad.

>>15264748
We'll end your species' exploitation someday.

>>15265784
U wanna end people exploiting animals when we still exploit eachother.

>>15265803
Most of the times, causes are not mutually exclusive.

The hard problem of consciousness is still unsolved, according to David Chalmers. But according to Christof Koch, consciousness is universal. Lab grown meat would seem to be the ethical thing to do here.

It is at least possible that you will be re-born as this turkey after you die.

>>15265840
How is reincarnation scientifically possible? When you die, you die. Its hard to comprehend an absence of life but i for one welcome it and hope it is the fate of all mortals

>>15265838
Explain

>>15265589
>animals dont have souls
They are just as likely to have souls as homo sapiens, another animal.
>inb4 b-but muh stick worshipping book from ancient stuma s-says...

>>15265595
When they have enough space to live an enjoyable life, they don't peck each other. Roosters will fight each other, but that's equivalent to the homo sapiens male testosterone fits.

>>15265851
>scientifically
It isn't scientifically possible. Science has put blinders on our eyes. There are things that are not accessible to science. As Spinoza put it
>sub specie aeternitatis

>>15265066
Are you retarded?

>>15265851
My mother, as she lay dying, said "I don't want to come back here." I believe she anticipated being forced to come back, and did not want this. Sadly, this was not for her to decide.

>>15265674
They're not fully matured yet.

Why don't you have a seat?

>>15265066

>>15265884
When i say science i mean logic. Logically speaking we are not anything special, just bio machines who are motivated by chemical inputs. When we die, we die. No heaven, hell, reincarnation, just an eternal dreamless sleep.

>>15265895
Sleep implies you're alive

>>15265897
please do not point out logical fallacies to the fedora

>>15264763
kino

>>15265895
that would be nice
but i don't think that's what happens
how unlikely was your birth
infinitely unlikely
yet you are here
the only conclusion you can draw from this is that you will be here again

>>15265910
that's not how statistics work

>>15265891

>>15265910
Even if somehow we "come back" it really is out of control.

Also if we come back as a cafo turkey, doesnt that mean a cafo turkey can come back as a human?

>>15265912
Whatever do you mean by that? We are located on a tiny speck of a planet in a universe that is potentially infinite in scope for all we know (we still do not know this, one way or another, definitively). The stats are actually insanely skewed toward life existing on this insanely small speck of all that exists in reality. Your being here is impossible. And yet you are.

>>15265923
it does

>>15264763
QUACK QUACK

>>15265933
oh I meant probability, not statistics
>we don't know we don't know we don't know
>aha we can't exist

>>15265945
And would it even matter what our past lives are if our memories of them are not available to us?

>>15265681
You got any proof of factory farmed turkeys in the US? Or you just gonna say “are you serious?” and hope that I don’t call you on being a fucking retard making shit up. Go ahead and post one factory turkey farm. Go ahead, I’ll wait. If you post anything that isn’t a factory farm you’re gonna get laughed at.

>>15265320
Yes. A few have died so far this winter but it happens.

>>15265712
Post one retard, please

>>15265066

I never would’ve thought recognizing a gmod face would give me a little dopamine hit

>>15265771
I am a vegan and this is not correct

>>15266890
Then how come vegans shit on me for homesteading so i dont support factory farming?

>>15266157
Didnt someone just post a photo of a butterball turkey cafo?

>>15266905
probably because the specific vegans you were talking to are assholes
they come in all kinds anon

>>15265000
I really hope this is true, factory farms shouldnt exist. Gross mean,horrible conditions, and new diseases all so people can get more cheap meat

>>15265771
I am not vegan and this is not correct

That's from Thankskilling

>>15265589
>animals dont have souls
Idiot take anon, you cant even prove you have a soul, if they exist why wouldnt an animal?

>>15265895
We dont understand enough about reality for this to be definitively true. Im cool with nothingness forever but you cant prove or disprove that thats what happens yet

>>15265000
do you know how much work farming is? how much time it takes? if you're feeding yourself maybe you can have an actual paying job to keep your lights on at the same time but even a family it's gonna take your whole day and not everyone has the property for that, then the people without the property want food, you're gonna need employees. I think the words you're looking for are "thank you"

>>15267058
>idiot they don't exist of course animals have them
OK now this is coping.

You are missing out on some wacky duck behavior, they are much smarter and more interesting than regular barnyard ducks.

>>15267305
That's a nice duck right there bud, going to have to do some duck posting tomorrow.

>waaaah waaaah it’s so much work OMG can you even imagine
It’s almost like setting up giant population centers is a retarded unsustainable idea and 99% of the people living in those population centers are whiny babies allergic to a hard days work. Pic related, it’s you.

>>15264763
Nice quackers, I used to have some ducks but a hawk got to them all. Unfortunately can't shoot the damn thing because it's tagged. But I did have this turkey roam onto my property the week of Thanksgiving and the hawk doesn't want to come around it, so I guess it can stay. I'm thinking once he saw we had chickens he decided to bunker down and lay low, and so far it hasn't wanted to leave. It's surprisingly friendly but still won't let me get close enough to see what sex it is. Absolutely loves grapes, and gets along great with all my other animals.

It's strange that birds have been around, far longer than primates but haven't evolved into being smarter than Albert Einstein.
