ELI5 Why do so many ppl treat chickens expendable??

That's the plan, as long as she plays nice with my flock (and vice versa as I have standards that haven't been around bantams ) she can stay. They did set a live trap for her and I gave them my name and number if they do catch her

I have my standards and bantams together and all is well. So far. Knock on wood.

There was a card game called there's a moose in the house where the goal is to fill your opponents' house with moose. I think I may still have it....

They can get along, it just helps if the standards were raised with bantams

I’m not wanting an argument I’m genuinely trying to understand. Why are chickens, especially roosters treated so expendable? (Not talking about broilers). I’ve seen and read so many ppl culling their chickens/unwanted roosters and throwing out the body with the garbage. Unwanted rooster, kill it, burn it or bury it. And just recently I read about a person who killed his roosters and used the body for bait. Can someone explain to me why this is acceptable? If it was a cat or dog it’d be cruelty to animals and illegal.

I'm just curious where it's illegal for me to kill my own dog or cat?

Hope so too. I haven't seen her the last few times I've been by but they've been trying to catch her too so we'll see

Sorry to hear that. What breed suffered from cat predation?

Phoenix and mixed hens for standard sized birds, lots of different breed for bantams.
