I believe we were all created equally however chickens are smarter and more compassion than alot if people on hereI had a 1 week old chick that almost succumbed to pasty butt. But i took it inside and washed her butt under warm water, then GENTLY massaged her intestines to bring out any more backed up waste. Never saw so much chicken poopy from one bird....this little chick survived, and it was really gross, having to do that..I had to work the backed up intestines 3 more times. People that raise thousands of chicks (not all pl but most) woukd have let it die. Not worth their time. I only have 145 birds, but I take care off each one, including a little chick like that., its good animal husbandry, and you shoukdnt just toss away a life because it is a hassle. Or because the other birds might get sick, them create something for sick birds.
