ʻO ka mea i hoʻomaka maoli ma ke ʻano he hopena stopgap i ka wā pilikia o ka hoʻokele waiwai ua ulu aʻe i ʻoihana waiwai no Leslie Citroen i nā makahiki he ʻumi i hala iho nei: kūʻai aku ʻo ia i nā moa. Akā,ʻaʻole ma kahi mahiʻai ma ka'āina, akā ma waenakonu o Silicon Valley, ke kikowaena o kaʻoihana tech ma Kaleponi. Ma kahi ninaninau, haʻi ʻo ia iā PetReader pehea i hiki mai ai.
Inā ʻoe e hoʻokomo i ka hashtag #backyardchickens ma Instagram, e ʻike ʻoe ma kahi o hoʻokahi miliona mau pou - kahi ana maikaʻi inā he ʻano maoli kekahi mea.
ʻO nā moa ka huhū a pau ma Kaleponi
ʻO Leslie Citroen, ʻo ia me kāna hui ʻo "Mill Valley Chickens", ua hopu piha i ka zeitgeist, ua kōkua i ka hana ʻana i nā moa i loko o kāu māla ponoʻī i ʻoi aku ka kaulana ma mua o ka wā. ʻO Leslie, ka mea i kapa ʻia ʻo "Chicken Whisperer", hānai a kūʻai aku i nā moa ma ka moku ʻo San Francisco Bay - kahi i loaʻa ai nā miliona o ka poʻe ma ka IT a me ka ʻenehana kiʻekiʻe. Pehea e pili like ai?
"ʻO ka poʻe ma ʻaneʻi he hoʻonaʻauao kiʻekiʻe a ʻike maikaʻi lākou i nā hopena maikaʻi ʻole o ka mahiʻai ʻana i ka hale hana, makemake lākou e ʻoi aku ka mana ma luna o kā lākou meaʻai a emi ʻole ka hewa," wehewehe ʻo Leslie i kahi ninaninau me DeineTierwelt. ʻO nā hua manu mai kāu mau moa hauʻoli he mea maikaʻi ia.
Eia kekahi, ma muli o ka maloʻo, ʻaʻole ia he chic ke hoʻoinu i ka mauʻu ʻōmaʻomaʻo, a ke hoʻohana nei ka poʻe Kaleponi i kēia manawa a puni ko lākou hale i kahi ʻokoʻa - no ka hale moa, no ka laʻana.
He Moa Maikai no $500
I ka wā i hoʻomaka ai, e laha wikiwiki ana kēia ʻano - i kēia manawa, e like me ka ʻōlelo a Leslie, ʻaneʻane maʻamau ka mālama ʻana i nā moa i loko o ka pā hale. A ʻo kāna ʻoihana, e holo pū ana me kāna mau keiki ʻelua, ua pōmaikaʻi nui ia mai kēia… He paʻakikī ke manaʻoʻiʻo i nā kumukūʻai āna i kāhea ai no nā holoholona.
ʻOiai ke kūʻai aku nei kahi moa ma kahi o 50 kālā, ua loaʻa hou iā ia he ʻumi manawa ʻoi aku ka nui no ka moa ulu piha: He 500 kālā ke kumu kūʻai o kāna mau moa momona!
"ʻO ka hapa nui o kaʻu mea kūʻai aku ʻoi aku ka nui o ke kālā ma mua o ka manawa," wahi a Leslie - no laila makemake lākou e kūʻai i nā holoholona makua ma mua o ka hanai ʻana iā lākou iho. Makemake nō hoʻi lākou i nā moa ʻokoʻa e waiho ana i nā hua kala. A ia lakou ko lakou kumukuai.
Akā ʻoi aku kēia ma mua o kahi hōʻailona kūlana: "He nui nā waiwai waiwai o nā kānaka i ko lākou mau hale, makemake lākou e ʻike hou i kahi mea maoli."
"ʻO nā moa he mau mea aloha me nā ʻano ikaika"
Ma mua o ka hoʻoholo ʻana o ka poʻe Silicon Valley e mālama i nā moa, akā naʻe, pono lākou e noʻonoʻo i kekahi mau mea a ua mākaukau ʻo Leslie Citroen i kahi manaʻo pāʻoihana no kēia: nā papa hana no nā mea nona nā holoholona waiwai e hiki mai ana, kahi e aʻo ai lākou i nā mea āpau e pili ana i ka moa a me ka pono. mālama i nā kūlana.
Pīhoihoi mau ka poʻe hoihoi i ke ʻano o nā moa holoholona aloha i piha i ke ʻano, ʻakaʻaka ʻo Leslie. ʻO kahi kumuhana liʻiliʻi ka leʻaleʻa ka nui o nā mea ʻaihue kūlohelohe e noho nei ma Kaleponi: coyotes, raccoons, hawks, a me lynxes. No laila, pono nā moa i kahi palekana a palekana i ka pō.
ʻOiaʻiʻo, aia kekahi ʻano hoʻonā no kēia: nā hale moa nani e kūʻai pinepine ana i nā kaukani kālā i kā lākou ʻano nani. Ma waho aʻe o kēia ʻoihana maikaʻi, hoʻonui nā moa iā Leslie a me kona ʻohana ma nā pae ʻē aʻe he nui: "He mau holoholona maikaʻi nā moa, ʻo ka hana pū ʻana me lākou ua ʻoi aku koʻu maʻalahi i ka hewa o mākou, nā holoholona maikaʻi ʻole ke mālama."
No laila ʻo kahi ʻoihana hou a me kahi makemake hou no nā holoholona a me ke kaiapuni nā hopena o kahi manaʻo pupule i hoʻomaka ma kahi o kahi māla ma Kaleponi ...
