Vegans of BYC!!

[BelovedBirds]

I'm interested! Who here is vegan/vegetarian, and what motivates you to do so?
What do the vegans here do with their flocks and their eggs?

I'll go first! I have been vegan since last year, due to loving animals and hating how they're treated, ESPECIALLY in commercial farms- my two ducks are where my flock journey is just beginning. It actually all started with incubating store bought eggs!
So!
Dougie, and Sprightly! Dougie is 4 days older, and hatched on Christmas day! She was an assisted hatch, incredibly nerve wracking!!
Her sister, Sprightly is a very sweet girl, they both are.
When they begin laying, I will feed most of the eggs back to them. Im not sure of the best way to do this.
I'll share a photo of my beautiful girls, feel free to join the conversation regardless of your beliefs and choices. Please be kind though! And I would LOVE to see photos of your flock!

Hello! I’m not vegan or vegetarian, and do regularly eat meat, but I think it’s good to know where your food comes from and but it from sustainable sources.
Do your ducks lay eggs yet?
My hens lay some very tasty ones we eat all the time.

You have chickens but don’t eat eggs? How come?

Because I’m vegan

Because I’m vegan

Uh….yeah, you said.
Genuine question.
Allergies, food preferences….? How come?
Most vegans I’ve met have said it’s a moral or allergy issue, so if it’s a moral thing I’m just wondering why not eat eggs from chickens you’ve raised lol.

Oh oh you’re asking me why I’m VEGAN, ok. Sorry for the confusion.

I’m vegan because I believe from the Bible and Science that it’s much healthier for me.

I once had someone say to me, “I’m a vegan, but I still eat eggs and dairy. Just couldn’t give them up!”
I was like uh…..

I’m vegetarian I do eat eggs and homemade cheese. Eggs I get from neighbors chickens and soon to be from my own chickens. Cheese made by neighbor who uses her own goats and cows and only does it a few times a years as she doesn’t steal the Milk from the babies. She has several cows and goats all pets all truly loved and spoiled on over 10 acres.
I do not eat my duck eggs as I think they are gross I give them to my neighbor or feed them to my dogs and cats. My ducks won’t eat them.
