I AM extra proud of you but ....you know how I am also LOLMy tongue's bleeding from my own teeth, but I'm not going there. Most of you will know exactly what I'm talking about and Robin will be extra proud of me. So where the heck is my gold star?
This is nothing new, hatcheries have never been known for delivering quality birds of any breed.
I would suggest that you may reconsider posting these types of statements. Until you actually run a business in which you have thousands of chickens to keep healthy for reproduction or for food, you can not say that its easier or cheaper. Also, CG is right. The protective clothing is not for HIS protection, but for the protection of the farmers investment. You many not like how it is done, but they are feeding a hell of a lot more people than you and have to do so in an effective and affordable manner. There are studies showing that the overall illness rate in factory farms are much lower than in free range/cage farms. Backyard flocks are more detrimental to the health of big farms. We do not vaccinate. We do not always use antibiotics. Our chickens have diseases from wild birds that can make our little lives a misery when we lose birds, but ruin a big farm.I tend to disagree with this way of thinking....they keep them in large enclosed buildings because it is cheaper and easier...the vet has to wear protective clothing in not to protect the chickens but to protect himself because they are likely so disease ridden.
^^^^^^^^^ ditto...chickens allowed to forage and have a good home are generally much healthier.
