food is a good way to most animals' hearts :D are they laying for you?

hello @maceleneo ! welcome to BYC :frow what sort of chickens have you got? someone posted photos they took at a big poultry show in Italy, and a lot of the birds were stunning! and breeds we don't know or have here...

the law here for commercial operations is that any animal be stunned/unconscious before slaughter, but backyard keepers are left to their own devices I think. I saw a TV show last week that featured a chicken plant in the Netherlands (which apparently supplies about 25% of UK consumption!)...

:eek:

good thank you! and you? are you in/from Aphrodite's isle?
