    Kill them with kindness?

    i think roosters are complex animals with deep thoughts but aren't particularly bright. my pet rooster never responded well to any negativity. definitely not the same as training a dog. if anything, getting mad at him only makes him act out more. took a lot of hugs and telling him he's a...

    How much would we pay for a swab egg sex tester?

    would definitely make me feel more comfortable about exploiting birds for eggs if unwanted rooster eggs could be detected and destroyed. if this were coupled with some sort of plan to treat reproductive problems in hens who lay too much i could almost say it's an ethical path
