Hello!

[Nimure]

I thought it too. I didn’t want to say it, and have anyone pitching a fit.

Everything's gotta eat haha! The hubby personally is a big fan of any hens that slow down in egg production becoming soup birds. I did have to inform him that at least oneeee would be a pet.

My grandparents had a cattle farm while I was growing up though, so the idea of breeding animals for food (be it mine, or say, a hawk's) is pretty commonplace to me. And at least I know they're well cared for and healthy!

Not to dismiss anyone who might be upset at the thought!

I have kept a few quail but nothing long term. I had been wanting to get my hands on some bobwhite though....

Now look what you've done!

I'm one of those that has to get my meat and poultry at the grocery store where it is "manufactured". I get way too attached to all animals and birds. I do buy free range, but I'm not sure that really means anything. I wish I could be like you all, because I'd really like to know the meat and poultry I eat has a good life as long as it lives.

Sometimes it's hard to be me.
