I'm new to this and it seems like every day it gets a little more complex. I went from thinking places like McMurray hatchery were the only way to go to thinking they are the Monsanto of the chicken world.
I guess I need it explained to me like a 2 year old to fully understand.
Is it, if you get chickens from hatcheries you are focused on using the birds to make money and then get them out to make way for the new ones, to keep the money flow coming,
and if you get them from breeders you are more interested in preserving the breed and enjoying the chickens as pets, and also getting an egg here or there?
Is it as black and white as, people who buy from hatcheries don't care and people who buy from breeders do?
Can't figure it out. Just want to do the right thing.
Thanks
