I'm just curious why a photo of a chicken with a poopy bot needs a "Graphic" warning. Whilst I appreciate that some people struggle to cope with blood and gore or images of internal organs etc, surely, as chicken keepers, we all need to be able to cope with the sight of a poopy butt and more importantly deal with it on a practical level, even if it is maggot infested.
I'm not intending to be critical of site admin (I think they do a brilliant job) or the original poster of the thread, but just sometimes wonder about whether pandering to people's extreme sensitivities in this way, doesn't just make people less accepting of the real world and all it's imperfections. Maybe the more exposed people are to "graphic photos" like these, the better they would be able to cope with the practicalities of chicken keeping.
As children my sister and I helped out at Christmas, plucking chickens and turkeys. We were not scarred for life by the experience, it was just part of farm life and gave you a good understanding of where your food comes from. Removing people from any exposure to this grittier side of life results in many people who take food for granted and a few who do the "dirty work" and see those graphic images on a daily basis and become callous to it. Surely everyone having a small amount of exposure is better.
