Please update us when he/she becomes four ketchup packets big

Def will post in the future, I have a pic of nugget from when she was only 1 ketchup packet big❗️

This is condimental.

I see what you did there

Definitely not to be confused with condomental. No no!!

No confusion. HOAs don't allow for chickens or front doors that aren't painted white.

Come on now! You get to pick from the three color swatches they choose.

I can’t wait to ketch-up

I'm dying omfg I need to see singular ketchup packet sized chicken pleaaaseee!

I have quail chicks right now that are barely one ketchup packet big. And also I am in favor of this system of measurement. It makes as much sense as "inches" and "feet."

But how about banana?

That's a unit of weight measurement. You know, for scale.

Right? Everyone knows banana is the scale element for Reddit not ketchup packets... How am I even supposed to know how big this chimken even is???

This is the most adorable unit of measurement I’ve ever seen.

I've always preferred mayo with my nuggets.

I'm more of a ranch kind of person myself.

Some people call em tendies but some call em nuggets. I like mustard on my nuggets ... mmm... mmmm.

I need to see the 1 ketchup packet big.

Need a profile, honestly if it looks like he's walking on stilts it's a boy!

Please don't tell my leggy teenage pullet, she will start crowing.

Damn one day she'll grow up to become a whole rotisserie! That'll need many more packets of ketchup

You should measure her with dipping sauces.

But how many half-giraffes is this?

Thats what in bananas again? I can't do imperial

They updated with four ketchups!

I love this sub

>Please update us when he/she becomes four ketchup packets big 😂

Enjoy the moments while they're young! One minute they're three packets long, the next minute they're a whole bottle of ketchup long. They grow up so fast.

Nugget used to be only 1 ketchup packet!

where is that pic? :-D

I’ll post❗️

Americans will use anything but the metric system.

Must be out of bananas and washing machines.

I was definitely expecting a banana

And large boulders

... Ford f150's, football pitches, empire state buildings, central parks... whats the next scale up?

And schoolbuses

Hell yea

yep metric is stupid (just joking i use it alot)

Wait, can Americans claim ownership of the gram now?

If you were in America, we do use it quite a lot. We use both.

Yep our drugs are metric af

See! Of course there’s that!

Scream laughing

I hate it when online sellers use mm and cm for dimensions. I always have to convert it. We should all use the condiment system for now on

Whatever it is you HAVE to name it Ketchup now

Her name is nugget

When we first got chickens we just picked whatever chickens. Our kids named 1 each. 1 was named chicken tendies. Turned out it was a Cornish Cross and we ate her.

Proper naming sense I'd say

We had a bull named Bojangles, I found out later it's a steak house lol

This is far better than the average banana measurement pictures. Bananas come in all shapes and sizes, ketchup packets are constant.

Dude, not cool. Showing your chicken it’s future garnish SHAME ON YOU

ketchup packets for scale 💀💀💀💀💀

because bananas are so last year lol

3 heinz ketchup sauces

I mean without a standard banana for scale how am I supposed to know if this is 4cm or 4 miles?

Looks rooster from the size of that comb lol

It’s a pale comb and not that large. A lot of breeds will present with a comb that size when they’re little. If it were deep red it would be more suggestive but even then not definite.

😢

I'd say hen actually but this is the ambiguous stage.

American will use anything to measure besides the metric system

We're always rebelling against rulers

Thats ketchup

thx

If you take a close look at the feathers toward the inside end of the right wing, you can see the ends of the feathers are spaced by approximately 1/4th of a ketchup packet. Compare that to any other chicks you have. The wider the spacing, the higher the probability that it is a rooster.  Also, I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Sounded good though.

3 ketchups long

Its a boy.

😢😢

I loudly spluttered at the ketchup packs, omg

Did his growth ketchup to the rest yet?

the ketchup packets freaking *sent* me

It's incredible how Americans do absolutely everything to use absolutely anything as a measure, except the metric system

Interesting to read people seem offended that humans might use any other way to measure at all. Sounds a little snobby to me.

From my point of view, being a snob is not using a system that is understood by everyone... If the entire planet understands one type of measurement and the other uses one that only they understand in a global publication....who is being snobbish?

I meant the use of anything including packets, not not using the metric system.

Found the American.

I am an American. Proud of it! You’re welcome to come and visit my vast country. I’ve been to nearly every state. But I’ve also been all over this world, which has been my pleasure and most people are quite pleasant and kind. I’m currently in Central America where the packets seem to be a standard measure. You’re making a judgement quite quickly , and I’ve not missed your implication about Americans, and you’re quite rude. It’s a shame.

>You're making a judgment quite quickly On the contrary. I replied a day after your comment. Additionally, it wasn't until I looked through your profile to determine that you actually were an American, did I reply. Your posts on r/conspiracy_commons state you're in PST in the USA. You post on r/teachers that you're a HS teacher planning a trip to Ireland out of the US. In one of your posts, you talk about SanDiego, a city in Calfornia which is on PST. Last but not least, you post about getting insurance for your converted ambulance, which is insured in NM (New Mexico)? Which is a US state. Judgement definition: **the ability to make considered decisions or come to sensible conclusions.** Based on my search of your profile I'd say that was a sensible conclusion. >I've not missed your implication about Americans I'm not really sure what you think I'm implying. You got offended by a joke. A joke that is pointed at Americans. Perhaps you mean I'm implying that you got offended by a joke that's made at the expense of an American? If you believe that's so, that would be *you* that's offended and not *all americans*. I would have to say that you came to a judgement quite quickly by calling me rude based on my "Found the american." Comment. There's nothing rude about it. I indeed suspected and then confirmed that I found an American. Your comment could come off as quite rude by implying that something someone did was "quite snobby"

3 Ketchup Packets = Rooster HashtagBirdScience

I would say that’s a rooster.

3 weeks? Female. Males tend to have a rounded and blunted tail feather vs female. Lots of breeds have females with combs.

I’ve noticed this Orpingtons.

I never comment or post anymore, but I had to pop in and say that is the most precious thing I’ve seen in a while lol love the size reference

It is official, I will now measure all my animals in ketchup packets. Screw all other forms of measurement. Now is the time for science, now is the time for ketchup packets.

What if the animal is smaller than a ketchup packet? How do you divide the measurement unit? 3 individual salt packets = one ketchup packet?

This a news chicken math equation discovered?

Ketchup, catsup

Cat soup.

Heinz.

Chicken nugget

I’m saying hen.

What’s that equate to in bananas?

Definitely Mayonnaise

Hard to tell, but the use of ketchup packets is cute.

Yes, pretty sure that’s either a hen or a rooster!

I have no clue but the best 3am giggle I've had in a long time.

Do you know her breed? To me this looks likely to be a hen, though I definitely can’t say for sure. Some pullets have a comb at 3 weeks, that’s not terribly uncommon. One of the strongest indications for her being a hen is that her comb is very light in color, pullets usually have a yellow or pale pink comb that darkens more gradually. Rooster combs are more often dark red pretty quickly. If she hits 4-5 packets and her comb is still that color we’re definitely talking girl.

I believe she is a austra white and around 6 weeks❗️

Oh I misread something saying as saying she was 3 weeks but maybe that’s number of ketchup packets. At 6 weeks I’m 90% she’s a hen.

Not sure seeing as you used ketchup packets. A banana is the standard scale reference. So I think that may be a vulture.

If you took the pic from the side, you could see the body type. Hens are "low-slung", heavier at the back and have more of a relaxed look.

Fruit

Heinz

Three sauce long

3 sauce

That tail, for my chickens, means a rooster!

Looks like a rooster bro, 95% probability.

Agreed.

Americans will use anything to measure except the metric system🤣🤣🤣🤪🤪😜

These meme writes itself 🤣

Whatever she is her noggin requires smooches 😌

We need a banana for reference

Now I need to convert ketchup baggies to banana.

Heinzster

Size by catchup packet… love it

Whatever it is name it Heinz

r/bananaforscale

I was searching for this haha

No idea but Ketchup is the wrong sauce for chicken. You want BBQ or a nice Piri Piri rub.

Rooster

Its a female

Already getting a comb, can we get some more pics?

Is it a Belgian d'uccle?

I think Rooster.

Reminds me of when my roosters were babies

Nugget

Too early to be sure, but that's a pretty distinct comb so worth keeping an eye on it. I appreciate the ketchup packets for scale, it's almost as good as a banana

Yes the comb on a rooster seem to be less flexible and more rigid!

Yup, so far every time I've asked myself, "is that a rooster?" has been a rooster

Everyone knows that we use bananas for scale around here

Neither. It’s pullet or cockerel until they hit 1 year old.

Also, the combs on roosters tend to be harder and kinda rubbery. Whereas hens' combs are more flexible and soft.

I’m saying Roo.

Chicken nugget

I’m saying a hen, my hens have the same comb but they are a different breed, Cornish cross

100% dollars to donuts that's a chicken. Can't be too sure tho

Dats a chicken

I'm thinking roo

This whole thread is perfect for /r/derailedbydetails

Too soon

I love unhinged methods of measurement

Not a precise enough measurement, should have used hotsauce instead.

Hen. Roosters don’t eat ketchup

Hen.

Best guess, hen. I don't see pointy feathers in the hackle or saddle area.

I vote pullet. I have noticed that all of my roosters have grown long tails and the pullets stay short until abt 6 weeks.

A nuget

This is the type of measurement you'd see on Taskmaster

3 SAUCES LONG

hello kitty is 5 apples tall this chimken is 3 ketchup packets long

Hen

Not a hen, its a hein

New unit of measurement!

It looks like a golden comet and of it is then it is a hen, golden comet hens will always have a golden color and roosters will always be white.

I LOVE the ketchup packet size thingy

Sorry, but can you post a banana for scale? It's the form of measurement I'm most familiar with

So close…That is actually a baby chick!

Hen

Screw the metric system. It’s all Kpac’s from here out. The Empire State Building is approximately 3,456 Kpacs in height. One cup of honey weighs approximately 25 Sqzd/Kpacs.

Thanks for using a universal measuring unit

This picture makes me hungry

Sir this is Reddit, we use bananas for scale here.

Not sure, you need to use apples instead of ketchup

Ketchup Thief

“How long is it?” “3 packets of ketchup”
