Most humane way to put a chick down?

[Granny Hatchet]

the healthy ones are bigger, i thought you meant the sick one was bigger for some reason. thats why i said i never heard of that and was it pooping. it is a failer to thrive. you will be doing it a favor.

"Failure to thrive"

That's something I haven't heard about since studying Romanian orphans back in college.

yup, unfortunetly it happens in more children then we want to know about. very sad. but it happens to chicken too. what did you learn about it? genetic? starved? or no reason?

Nicolae Ceausescu was a Romanian dictator in the 1960's who was like the Communist version of a Republican. He outlawed contraception and implemented policies to grow the Romanian population far beyond the nation's ability to produce food. This produced a lot of children who could not be cared for and who were put into horrible state run orphanages. Scientists noticed that even when the children received the basic necessities they needed, they still didn't grow. It was discovered that children who have no interaction with a nurturing parental figure simply do not grow or develop, regardless of meeting other physical needs. The researchers were not supposed to touch or hold the children, as they would scream for hours afterwards.

Dictators are wonderful.
