we got chickens

bok detected at bearing 2-0
tracking multiple boks on intercept


click for biggerest

two are hy-line browns which are chickens that have a 40 page pdf instruction manual???? i guess because they are fancy commercial genetic engineered bok boks so I suppose commercial users want instructions for how to achieve maximum eggs per chook or something

the other is a light sussex which are not super good at laying eggs but they look cool n stuff and we figured 2 eggs a day with the occasional extra (the hy-lines peak at almost 8 eggs a week which is absurd) is probably enough

anyone else got a bok squad?

I just bought a house with a bok-appropriate yard and deploying a bok squad has been my dream for a while, I'm gonna build a little bok-zone and hopefully recruit some this summer

Goons Are Gifts

My dad used to have several boks, including a special white bok that he called Vladimir.

I was told he later on died because of alcoholism and problems with his wife, which is sad. I was never able to get a new bok squad going.

i do not own a bok flock but i have friends that do, one of whom has 10 and they have a nasty pecking order so when the omega bok, affectionately named gobbles, gets really hosed up he brings it inside for a few days to heal up

same, but they're not as good at eggs - and as this round of boks (we had some a long time ago, but foxes got them :arghfist:) were my sister's idea, and she has promised to do all the upkeep stuff, I decided to make as few decisions as possible so that I can avoid having to deal with cleaning up after boks

i used to have a silky bantam and she was an A+ bok

we were going to build our own bok barracks but my sister found a flat pack kit on the internet that was absurdly cheap, the wire isn't as thick as i'd like it to be but tbh i'm probably overestimating the strength of foxes

they are named (from left to right) nugget, popcorn, and pepper :3:

unfortunately i am in :australia: so i suspect the site may not be of much use to you, also my sister is asleep so I cannot ask her (but will in the morning)

all sides of the coop are either wood or strong wire mesh over wood, I remain quietly confident in the security of these boks but am also on at the very least medium alert

it would be kind of cool to have a moat though

she is the noisiest and also seems determined to be Top Bok
fortunately popcorn and pepper don't really care, so they're all friends now

bok update?

Robot Made of Meat

If I had a bok, I'd name it Bart Bok, and I'd refer to its poops as "Bok Globules."

That is my story for this Saturday evening.

there's some lies here I have to clear up;
- Popcorn is top bok, she gives Pepper a lot of poo poo but Pepper is honestly dumb for taking it cos she's so much bigger than Popcorn and has a pointier beak
- Nugget is chillest bok, probably cos she's yet to get her "fuq u I got an egg to lay" feels yet
- I didn't eat the egg it's sitting in an egg cup in the kitchen cos it is the "thousand dollar egg"
- Egg could still be a tiny burglar, will update when new info comes
