OMG are you serious! Well I don't want that! thanks I never would have guessed, I was thinking maybe something to do with the spurs, Sounds aweful! Is it a common practice? thanks

I wondered what that was... It sounds awful! I thought maybe it was doing something like giving it something to prevent it from getting sick... UGGG
 
Oh, wow, warden, thank you for putting that hyphen in there! I kept reading and trying to figure out what doing that could possibly have to do with dampness on grass in the morning. My pronounciation was way off, and it never even occurred to me to ... People do this? On purpose?

I'd like to de-wing the people at that hatchery. With a hatchet, maybe. What kind of hatchery would even offer such a thing? Think they woul maybe ship you the feet separately, so they're not as mich trouble to clean after slaughter?

Maybe it is just me, but I would not give my business to a company that de-wings chickens.

This is just more de-animalizing of animals. Instead of managing the animals in a way that they can function as what they are, let's remove their beaks and combs and wattles and wings so that we can treat them like machinery. This is a big part of why I got chickens again. I really do not need another group of critters to care for, but I like eggs and I don't like the way most layers are kept.
 
im sorry but bit thick they actually take the wings/bones out?

i though if you wanted them not to fly you could "clip" a feather ? i have neaver donethis and new to chickens so ima little confused by the idea of taking away the wings thats sort ofin my opinion taking of a leg or an arm !!!!!
