Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

I read that too, about cage-free and free range. Too many hens in one place, the hens all crowded with nowhere to run, on one level and can’t see their way to the outside, if there is an outside.

I found these eggs and have no idea about them, it has a label on the upper left “Certified Humane” but with no attribution. Hopefully this is what you mean? Seems to be improvement, even if it is incremental. The picture there looks so misleading, it’s not possible the chickens could have fresh grass in a commercial farm.

Butters I think. Giving those eggs the side-eye.

Yes. That is the Certified Humane symbol you should look for.
It is the symbol of the independent group that certifies how the chickens live. One thing I find encouraging is that availability of Certified Humane eggs has increased - it used to be only one grocery store near me, now it is in several. You can also see the label on things like mayonnaise.
Here is the link to the group that certifies them - as you can see it is a pretty low bar relative to the lives all our chickens live and they have plans to raise the bar which would be great.

I think the next piece of the law needs to involve chicken density. This too could be fixed with smarter lawmakers.

For tax, a Leghorn to remind us all

Actually, I can imagine someone getting offended. Humor can be dangerous and people can easily take things the wrong way.

Thankfully cooler heads prevailed.

I love Alex's humour most of the time

Really

Im one of those people that doesn't get offended at jokes. If I do ever get offended I will politely and calmly let you know. That being said I think we know each other enough to know the limits.

I think the same

You just never really know. With some people what is ok one day is not the next.

It’s about my breath again isn’t it? Gezz. I brush twice a day!

I would really like a little break but would worry about my animals to much
