Someone told me the other day that they would never be able to kill a chicken... But they buy chicken at the grocery store
They were trying to shame us for raising our own meat chickens!
A lot of male chicks are killed and ground up daily at a lot of hatcheries and chicken farms.
Thank you for posting all those numbers, it really puts things in perspective.
I'm plant based so I don't eat meat at all, but I raise it for my family. Raising our own meat is better than what we find at the grocery store plus I know what they're eating. I know how they were processed and butchered, I don't have to question if I'm supporting inhumane farming.
