Why Do People Buy Live Chicks From Breeders and Farm Stores‭?

All lies. There is nothing natural about poultry keeping.

I said the killing of chickens as a prey source is natural behavior from a predator. Not chicken keeping. I’m aware. Thanks though.

I would like an answer to both my questions from @Shadrach .....why I asked him directly via quote.

I do stand out in the yard and pretend I’m Ace Ventura. They rarely come to me though. I think it’s the yellow pants. How’s that for random?

I'm know I've written this before. You and I are never going to agree. Our views on just about everything are completely different. The same applies to many of the people who contribute here. I keep reading 'we are all different', 'we all keep chickens in our own way'
'everybody is free to do as they choose'
I'm doing exactly that. @aart

 

[Shadrach]

@Shadrach For some reason many don’t. Why? I have my theories but I won’t share them because I don’t want to upset the masses.

You've got the idea, but I know that.

Sometimes when we practice contrary-ism at every opportunity, we paint our selves into a corner. Then taking the view of no possibility for mutual understanding sets up for hardened polarization not unlike seen in politics.

Speak for yourself. I always leave an escape. Lol
Very true though

Well ... I have formed an opinion based on Shadrach’s responses. And it’s quite different from my first opinion.
This is not someone being paid to write a book. This is not someone who has kept chickens before.
This is a guy who by his own accounts took a job on a property to fix fences and what ever else and their happened to be chickens there. Not a landrace chicken but semi feral probably because the owners vacated the property. So ... he decided to write a book.
Somehow the whole National Geographic pie in the sky vision I had went poof!
There is no care for these chickens there is no shelter for these chickens.
Perhaps I should write a book on the wild cat’s that I observe. Their daily struggle
With trying to stay alive.
Live and learn.
