Hubby has recently decided he wants to raise meats birds along with my laying hens. Im fine with this, I think its great to know exactly whats going into my daughters bodies when they eat. The problem is with the kids.
They name and get attached to every animal that shows up around here, from stray dogs, to wild rabbits, to toads on the back deck.
How do I keep them from getting attached to the meat birds? My oldest thinks its funny when I threaten to eat my roo when he wakes me up in the morning, she askes "which part of Johnny are you gonna eat mommy" but she knows Im joking when I say that.
Any help would be appreciated, They are 4 and 2yrs old if that helps.
