Beautiful post.

I had a similar upbringing which is probably why the, "don't get attached," advice always rings hollow for me. Of course you care for them. They're doing you a wonderful service, repay that service with and much care as you can.

Thank you booker81, I'm bookmarking this post to be able to go back and read it. I'm raising layers, but have slaughtered one, and will be doing another probably next month (a roo). Have been looking for this kind of wisdom to help me.

Great post! Just wanted to add, all my meaties do have a name. The same name. Delores the Delicious. Or Knucklehead when I want to shorten it.
