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

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.
Your wrong and if you read the articles and the stories and looked at some posts you would realise this. Instead you're making assumptions with no knowledege or evidence.
 
The difference with being able to label organic vs things like ‘free range’ or ‘cage free’ is that you have to be accredited by the USDA first. That means following specific restrictions, inspections, record keeping, and periodic audits. So while the birds probably aren’t as well off as those is well loved small flocks, it is a label with a bit more backing it than some of those beloved hype words.
Only food labeled "certified" organic meet your definition. A label that only says organic is usually only, at best, mostly organic. Also, labels that say "natural" mean absolutely nothing. There are no rules governing what defines natural. Consumer Reports has done extensive testing and research on labeling practices. You may be able to look up their articles at consumerreports.org without a subscription, but I'm not sure about that since I always subscribe.
