This is something along the lines of what I was trying to say but didn't have all the background to put it in words...lol

I love the "Chubby Chickens" thing...lol I have about 4 Tetra Tints I can't tell apart anymore that I often call the "Goon Squad" or things along that line.

Around here spiders (and other bugs) get captured & fed to the chickens...lol

I personally have not come to the point yet of butchering my own chickens, not that I wouldn't, but that I have not been shown how yet. My BF grew up running around his grandma's farm & knows how to process chickens, among other animals. I also have 2 aunts who have done their own butchering for...

Mine are pretty healthy too. Neither have missed any days this year to actually being sick. My daughter missed a day to got to a funeral & my son missed 2 days cuz he got into poison ivy & his eyes almost swelled shut (inherited Mom's severe reaction to it). I try to feed mine as little...

THAT is cruelty. That's why I wish I lived in the country so I could have a cow or goat or 2. Then my kids could have fresh milk daily (I rarely drink milk, but am not a vegan/vegetarian) and I would know it was from a happy, healthy cow. I grew up eating home grown meat, goat's milk, fresh...

As for the sore udders, that can happen whether they are milked or not. Some could be from the machines & some could be from brushing thru thorns/sticks/tall sharp grass...etc., or it could be from NOT getting the milk released when she needs it. I'm not sure if you have ever nursed a baby or...

She would probably drink milk from your cows too if you had them cuz she knows you would never mistreat a cow any more than you would a chicken.

I've never personally had cows either, did have a goat tho but she was too young to breed when I got her & she went to a nice happy farm to get spoiled after my 4-H project with her was done. Yes, I was originally referring to a "pet" cow with a baby who was producing more than ample milk for...

Nursed 5 of my 6...know exactly what ya mean...lol Also, cows/goats can get mastitis just like people can if milk is over produced & not released. Anyone who has ever nursed a baby knows how painful an overly full breast can be. Just think how much more pain an unmilked cow/goat can be under...

I meant the excess milk. Cows actually usually produce way more milk than their calf requires and in the case of a "pet" cow who is well taken care of I wouldn't see a problem with using the excess.

I think this is the consensus of most vegans/vegetarians who DO eat eggs & drink milk. If the cow/chicken is going to produce it anyway, no point in wasting it.
