Re: [CHICKENS-101] Re: Leaving group

While you are correct members can choose to pick and toss subject lines based on interest ..... however this is a "family" group and as such certain lines are etched in stone. I tend to error on the side of being more technical rather the graphic .... and avoid giving critters human qualities or using terms of that gender. Religion .... politics...and YES "sex" tend to be "lines" not crossed. Now chicken reproduction is not chicken sex ... if I need to explain then suffice to say that will not happen. So lets not make more of this then it deserves and YES Deb ..... that's enough..... move on.

Well, Sarah, if you don't like a particular topic, feel free to move on to the next. It seems a bit excessive to drop off a group as good as this just because you don't like a particulat topic. I would hate to think folks will be afraid to ask questions or raise concerns because someone else might not LIKE their concerns and quit the group. Your loss, Sarah! I've seen this group carry on forever on topics I don't have the least bit of interest in, like, say, MEAT bird processing. I hate that, but I know that after a while, something that interests ME will come up. So I stay tuned. I really get a kick out of this group most of the time. So many times, we're like a bunch of hens ourselves, cackling and bragging about our first eggs, and even ruffling each others feathers. And then the ROOSTER has to step in and say...alright everyone...that's enough! What is interesting to me though, is the unease around the topic of sex. Most hens are "uneasy" about sex, and in a group like this, all running alot of "chicken energy" the discomfort about talking about sex really shows up. I've never seen this phenomenon on my horse groups.
