Just stick to something you are good at like flinging cow pies at cars

I tried that but I couldn't get them out of your mother fast enough! VBG

I do it all the time. Our pond has a tonof Bream in it, and on
occassion I will set the fish trap and catch a mess of em to help thin
em out. I used to pitch them way back in the woods, but since last
year I dump a mess of em in with my chickens, and in no time they are
gone. I just finished dumping a bunch in about 2 hours ago. Free
protein.

Are you trying to create your own chicken of the sea?

This is a gardening newsgroup not poultry pointers.

Which stinks worse chicken shit or dead fish?

Don't know the answer, do you?

Your rudeness just emphasizes your stupidity.

They should love it, but don't let a half-eaten fish carcass lay around
for days. Not only will it breed disease, it will stink!


Thanks. I think that I will grind that fish in the grinder along with
other kitchen scraps, which I grind anyway.

Since I don't have any chickens but yet am an avid fisher,
I bury the ones I don't want to eat under a bush or tree.
It's fantastic fertilizer.

Go and play with your chew toy, Dog boy.

Don't want anything at all to do with fishy chicken or stubby legged canines
that can't hunt.

That's interesting but why do you not want to eat fish under a bush or tree?

Chickens will eat practically anything that doesn't eat them first.
I've seen them chase down a mouse and swallow it whole, head first!
Surprised me!

The thing about feeding them fish.. give them to them, let them have
their way with them for a couple hours, and then anything left, put it
in the ground. Remember the tale of Squanto and the pilgrims, he
taught them to bury a fish below the hills they planted their corn in.
It's a good high nitrogen fertilizer.

If you have time to toss the fish into a heat proof container with a
bit of water and a lid and put it on the barbecue grill or a fire of
any sort.. steam the fish first and the chickens will likely eat them
bones and all as they'll be softer. It'll also kill any possible
parasites the fish might have. Fish are intermediary hosts for liver
flukes, and other things .. which is why I do not eat raw fish. No
sushi for MEEEEEEE!!! (Yes, I know not all fish are hosts..but I
don't know where they are, or what kind they are.. just thought I'd
say that to stop the bandwagon before it got to those inclined to
climb on! )

Unless he is a much better fisherman than I, there will be no half-eaten
fish in the chicken pen after an hour or less. Chickens are not known
for leaving half-eaten delicacies laying around.

Thanks for the entertainment, guys. It isn't too often that we get to
see some truly creative flamers go at it.
