Split skin on meat birds.

[kissezmychicken]

Those meat birds, they have manipulated their genes and have created horrific short lived misery of a bird. I get sad and angry about it. Why do human beings do this to animals? Because we can???

Update - I put some Neosporin on her split skin, and in a few days it was healing up nicely. A few weeks later, it happened again - but as before, the split healed itself.

My Cornish cross chicks never used the roosting bars at all. I took them out when the birds were 8 weeks old. They preferred to sleep on the floor, side by side, all around their coop, facing the wall. Weird!

Did you ever find a solution for this problem?
