I see in Enola's case that they would need to be indoors (not that he has to care about my approval, and I am sure he does not) if he kept them. But if I were in a situation where the birds could not be outside at all, I would give them to someone who could have them outside. It just would not...

Until then, we can just use common sense.

I am sure if you could ask the chicken he would disagree too.

Why do we even need evidence? Buildings are not in nature, they do not just spring up out of the ground. Animals do not live in buildings. They just do not. Buildings are boxes that humans make to be comfortable in. Sure, you can lock them in there and not let them out, it is perfectly legal and...

If you are serious, then you cannot know chickens. The only evidence one would need is to see how happy they are to be let out. When I open the coop in the morning, all the chickens pour out and flap through the yard in excitement. They bask in the sun, scratch through forest litter, and graze...

I have already thought of these things. I do not need realism or someone else telling me 'how it is'. I get it. I thank you if you think you are helping me, but I do not need it. Main point was, multiple diseased birds being spread out to infect other flocks is not okay.

I am always going to keep a few roosters, but I intend to have more of them once I go to college and get a bit older. I probably cannot call it a sanctuary because A. I let hens hatch their own eggs, a big no-no in most sanctuaries and B. I really do not want other people telling me what to do...

My first chickens, since I am a teenager, were feed store hatchery chicks my mother gave to me as a gift. I was a vegetarian with a garden that did not know much about chickens. All the birds since then have been older hens and unwanted roosters from people about to kill them or send them to...

I am not assuming anything about your financial situation. I just said that if you can not let them outside, and cannot make them happy, why have them at all? I did not say that you had to free range them, but they should have a run. You said they have never been outside, and that is horrible...

Just because everyone else does wrong, does not make it okay for them to do it, too. It may be better, but it is still bad and should not be done.

Well, yes, I am saying that. If they have stayed in a building their whole life, you are not giving them a quality of life they deserve. Even if they have never known better, and their bedding may be clean and they have nice foods, they would still be happier if they could go outside. If one can...

I do not think that this is excusable. Birds belong in fresh air with LOTS of room outside to forage and be birds. If breeding them in an operation keeps one from allowing them to be happy, then it just should not be done. This is what happens when people keep confinement operations where they...
