Being blunt, but not at all rude you thinking how I manage the chickens here is extremely wrong doesn't really concern me.In my opinion that’s extremely wrong. If you can do something to help them why not do it?
And referencing the egg and meat industry, we’re backyard chicken keepers we’re not apart if the industry. In fact I’m actually vegan, besides eating the eggs that come from MY birds, specifically because of how horrible the industry is. As well as the fact that meat is not a necessity and there’s no way to humanely kill something that doesn’t want to die.
I'm going to remind you that you hunt, trap, and as I understand it breed chickens. I don't think any of those creatures that you kill wanted to die either and I think the chickens would rather breed without any interference. Lets try and keep things a bit objective.
I really don't get this we are back yard chicken keepers business. A lot of people on this site are essentially free ranging their chickens on large acreages.
