Poll: Do you think its wrong to kill your chickens?

[BarredBuff]

Not culling for deformities or illness, would you kill one for meat? Even if you had grocery store acess

i just raised and (had a guy come) butchered 19 meaties. i have a grocery store 8 miles away.. i chose to raise my birds to eat them.

No, its not wrong to kill our chickens. I have some that are pets, and unless they were hurt or sick beyond healing, I'd kill them to end their suffering. The roos go to freezer camp. Nope; not wrong.

Im doing that next year! Im processing though. I cant wait because I love chicken, and when the muscoy drakes are big enough Duck Ala Orange will be served.​

I agree with the other posters. If it is to ill to be saved & I don't want to make other birds sick, it needs to be done. I eat eggs, but I don't eat chicken. I'm a beef person. That is probably why I'm 6 ft something & weigh over 300 lbs.

Do we get to vote?

Nope...I don't think its wrong. I think it honors the animal to be repurposed for another creature. I'd rather consume my good chickens than allow them to be dumped in the county landfill wrapped in a trash bag at the end of suffering an illness or until old age and all its pains finally kills them.

By consuming them I reaffirm their worth to me~they become a living part of me and continue on, but by letting predators, illness, or old age be their end, I have proven how little their existence really meant to me personally. I believe the Native Americans had the right idea.

No.

No.

The only difference in the chickens that are in freezer camp and the chicken I can buy at the store is that what is in freezer camp I KNOW how it was raised and treated and what has gone into it to feed it and keep it alive until I process it. I have chickens that went to freezer camp and chickens that are laying eggs. At some point the eggs layers will go to freezer camp also.

I understand where those people are coming from who can't kill their pet chickens and eat them. Most of those people, and I am making a judgement maybe, have just a few chickens and have gotten attached to them. I love my chickens but I know why they are here.

*** the pigs that we are raising too!

I like knowing where they came from.

Haven't had to as yet, with the AC limits and all, but considering someday I hope to raise my own meaties I hope I don't have a problem doing the deed and eating well.

Also, if the bird is in pain, won't recover, I wouldn't hesitate to put it out of its misery.
