grannys gone and done it

I get that sort of but you did buy them with the intent of eating them. and the breed has a definite USE BY DATE and if you truly want to be an advocate DO NOT buy store chicken, cooked or raw OR order it at a restaurant.

I agree

P.S. they made us miserable for the last time today by over filling our bellies lol

I am an advocate of Fried Chicken.

I KNOW it kind of rough with these guys. Not knowing what to expect.

Then you get em and they are SO gentle. Sweet birds actually.

But they have a short destiny. Bless you for trying to give them a better life.

I gave thanks to the Lord for each one of these birds from the coop to the slaughter to the cleanin.

And again at the table. Like I said I wont get em again. I will get a different bird.

They DO come from BIG AG. And i choose to no longer support that in the ways Im able to.

yes, that is how I feel about them too. I made a mistake, it happens

I have no problem culling mean roosters, sick or hurting chickens and chicks . I just cant . as of right now they are healthy babies.

Maybe they do have a different purpose . Maybe I was meant to advocate for these guys.

They don't know. They don't understand the future and will not be worried or lamenting what they might be missing. you are taking all of that onto yourself. We can only do what we can do.

I know a friend who eats her culls, but she is lucky enough to have a good friend who does the actual culling for her. I could clean and eat them, just have trouble with the killing part. Anything to prevent suffering is good.

heart attack,  broken legs or hips  internal organs give out.    

Wish I had never seen them. its enough to turn you away from chicken. I have never held them petted , ect.. but I reach in there to feed and they come running to cuddle under my arm and pick on the buttons of my coat sleeve. I have never had one so sweet. They keep their eyes on me and every move I make begging for attention.  What am I supposed to do with that ?

More EEs! I have a brooder of EEs and honas. The EEs jump all over me, even Monster flaps his fuzz to land on my shoulders. The honas just hide.

Granny's roo!!

Thank you, everyone, for the kind words about my family. They are all good guys!

Extra hugs to Tippy.

I know what you are going through. I always feel guilty when a pet dies, thinking I could have done more, I should have done this or that better. I have to forgive myself for not being perfect. I think it's part of the grieving process for me. In time the regrets fade, and the good memories remain.
