Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

Ya I hear ya. I saw Curly off the nest earlier, not sure about Henny, but Whiskers is stubborn and won’t leave the nest. I am betting it’s the darn cockerels- when I get back home they are all going - they are causing too much stress with my mum and the hens.

All going? Even Mr. P?

Humans can Really be Awful

This is horrid research. It is all governed by what is the cheapest way to get an egg. Because we are now using corn to power our cars in an effort to save money on more expensive feed they are now going to essentially starve laying hens. They will live horrible lives in cages and slowly state l starve to death while giving us cheap eggs. They will well and truly be burnt out by 18 months with almost no hope of surviving.

Humans can be quite barbaric. Especially so to beings we believe to be beneath us. Not that we have been super kind to other humans.

It's amazing they have proven that malnourished hens will sacrifice their own bodies to lay eggs. Malnourished human women will do the same when pregnant.

I didn’t even ask

He’s a sharp one, that lad , quick with the wit!

Ok well I am going to head to bed, I am trying to stay on Ontario time, I will be happy to get home where it’s quiet, no noisy motorcycles, screaming drug addicts staggering and swearing down the street (which is actually sad), and no honking horns, swearing people, and own shop across the road from one’s await bnb quite the culture shock for a country girl let me tell you. Seems to be some sort of brawl or something going on down in the sidewalk. I wonder what would happen if I threw some pits and pans out the window at them?

Crazy talk
I miss my chooks, and I wonder if Twister will remember me

No!!!!! Mr P is a gentleman he stays, mum likes him and so do my hens. He is my little man

Then don’t be saying “they are ALL going, when I get home!”

Just as well we can’t comment on the article, how cruel, I bet those poor hens bones are like brittle sticks by 52weeks

I hope so, and the horses, they haven’t been getting treats likely.

This sounds terrible and I haven’t the emotional fiber right now to read it. What can we do? Write to the federal agricultural committee members if one is our representative?
