Hey guys! I’m glad I found a thread involving poultry... I was gonna post something about this earlier but I got kinda worried/nervous about asking about it...
So lately I’ve been starting to get ideas of what I want to do after high school and so far I’ve been really interested in farm life or something of the likes as a possible career route. I'm thinking of trying for a green certificate for small flock poultry to use as a future hobby (Just for eggs! No meat because I have a feeling I’ll bond to them and it just feels kinda wrong raising them only to eat them T-T).
So, some concerns of mine:
-I’ve read of some people working with poultry outside and still having parrots? Though I’ve also read a lot of warning revolving around illnesses and diseases that could spread to both! Which is terrifying to think about, but I’ve also read that there are precautions you can take as well? But I think it’s near impossible to get rid of all risks involved.
-Egg binding. I’ve already expressed my concerns about this before I got Soba and it is still a big concern for me. Since chickens are frequent egg layers, I think this is a larger risk than with parrots who only lay once in a while?
There’s more, but I have to think about them more first and look into it more
