I sent an email to someone selling chicks on Craigslist asking why there chicks were $10 each and why I would pay that much instead of going to feed store and pay $2 for a pullet. I also asked about hormones and disease (they use no medication or antibiotics). I have 15, 2 month old chicks from feed store and none have died, LOL. Is this stuff true????? I only Keep identity of ranch anonymous, the rest is quoted.
"Hi Alex,
It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance. It is clients such as yourself that I am always looking for...the ones who are paying attention.
Before you purchase from a feed store, I suggest you research how hatcheries function and what the mortality rates are. You may only be paying a few dollars for a chick from them, but like most things in life, you get the quality you pay for. After most of them die I imagine you will be coming to see us at *****
Supporting the hatcheries and the feed stores? You are supporting the "humane" euthanasia of thousands of little cockerels being dropped live into a meat grinder to be returned to the feed given to the chickens who are laying the hatching eggs.
If I were you I would also research the legal language of the industry, so that you may understand that the term "hormone" has been changed to "growth enhancer" to satisfy the legal language of the USDA. While you are at it, look up Nitro-3, the "growth enhancer" that has most recently been banned because it causes the chicken's liver to metabolize it into arsenic. Don't think the corporate world will replace it with anything less dangerous to human health, but we can cross our fingers You may also want to do a search on the John Hopkins university study on the prozac that was found in chicken. The industry no longer uses hormones, because the USDA says its illegal, yes that is true. They simply use growth enhancers. Because the general public really doesn't understand the underlying issues, I use words we are more commonly familiar with.
Yes, several years ago there was a great deal of loss. Now that we have developed the variant genetics that resists most of the viral diseases we don't have a problem. You may be very interested in our *********** ************ class, Alex. We offer sustainable and effective alternatives to the industry standards and western medicine. The next class is **** **. Let me know if you are interested and I will get more info for you.
Unlike Tyson and Foster Farms and any of the industrialized hatcheries, you are always welcome to come visit and see for yourself how we function at *****. I wonder why Tyson and Foster Farms and the hatcheries won't let you see?
Hope to meet you soon"
