Samantha Ronson Points Out How Odd It Is That We Care More About Chickens Than Humans
Okay, so, my friend Trish keeps talking about this book called Skinny Bitch, basically about how you have to be all vegan and shit to truly be healthy, and she’s like, “Listen, Beet, I don’t think you should read it unless you’re ready to be vegan. It’s the kind of thing you can’t unread.” And I went a few months without reading it, but then last night I gave in and bought it and I’m about halfway through, and I think I have to be vegan now. The poor animals! It’s SO AWFUL how they’re treated — I just can’t be part of anything that encourages that industry. I just think of anyone doing that to Leo or the kitties and it makes me so angry! And Californians seem to understand those horrors — they passed an animal-rights initiative on Tuesday, while revoking the rights of gay couples to marry.
Samantha Ronson sums it up nicely on :
2 steps forward….. 2 steps back
i guess people care more about farm animals than they do their fellow man, that’s really sad to me.
yes, i am glad that the chickens will have more room and better conditions as they wait to die, but i just think it’s frightening that people show more compassion for tomorrow’s dinner than for the chef.
yup, miss piggy and chicken little may rest easy, but gay people in florida and california can no longer get married and gay couples in arkansas can’t adopt children. g-d forbid a loving family (regardless of sexual orientation) give a needy child a home! there aren’t children out there in dire need of love and shelter, no this country is thriving and no child is in need.
oh well, i guess one out of four ain’t bad!
You tell ’em, Sam!

Typically hatcheries online offer both standard breeds

pounds when full grown. Just like ordering anything online there are pros

Baby Chicks Care in
Glenhaven, California
Quantity - you must order a certain number of chicks. Typically hatcheries
will require you buy a minimum of 25 chicks at a time. The number is
necessary for the chicks survival during shipping. All 25 chicks are put
in one small box without heat. They are crowded in the box and produce
enough body heat to arrive in good shape. * The wait - If you choose to
buy chicks from a feed store you will have them the same day but if you
choose to go with a hatchery you have to wait until they are ready to ship
and then wait for the chicks to arrive. Ordering baby chicks online in
Glenhaven California is easy and has always been a very pleasant
experience of me. It can be a little frustrating waiting for the chicks
but it's so worth the wait. When the post office calls and you hear all
those little "cheeps" or "chirps" in the background you'll know the wait
was worth it! How to Care for your new baby chickens in Glenhaven,
California Baby chicks are quite
charming as well as
tough to stand up to,
yet it's ideal to plan for their
arrival before you obtain them. Prepare initially
by gathering not only the
right products, yet
likewise the correct
knowledge to take care of
them. Raising baby chicks is reasonably
simple, you simply have to offer them with the following: A tidy and warm
environment A lot of food as well
as water Attention as well as
love Habitat Your habitat could be a
simple box, fish tank,
cat carrier, or guinea
porker cage. Line it with old towels as well as
blankets (without any loosened
strings!) to start, and also after a
couple of weeks utilize straw over newspaper.
Note: Avoid using just
paper or other slipper
surfaces-- or your chicks legs could grow
misshapen. You likewise require
something to serve up food and also
water in, such as a chicken feeder and also water
recipe from the feed shop, or a pickle container
cover for food and a family
pet bird water dispenser from a family pet shop. Also, as the chicks age you can introduce a perch
into the habitat to get them
trained on setting down. Heat To
maintain your chicks warm you need to
give them with a warmth source.
This can be as basic as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp style light from an equipment store, or an infrared reptile warmth
bulb likewise work extremely well (my
recommendation). Chicks require this
heat 24/7 up until their downy fluff is
replaced with plumes (which could occupy to two months). The newly
hatched need a temperature
between 90 and also 100 levels,
and each week this could
be minimized by
approximately 5 degrees or
so. The heat resource ought
to get on just one side of the cage
to allow chicks an array of
temperature levels. The chicks are your ideal
thermostat- if they are concealing in the
opposite corner of your heat
light, you should
lower the temperature. If
they are surrounding each other under the
heat (not just cuddling),
you have to include some warmth.
House cleaning
Sanitation is essential and it keeps your chicks healthy and
balanced. Make sure to change
the bedding
typically and
always supply tidy
food and also water Food and also water.
Chicks expand very quickly
which requires plenty of clean
food as well as water. Provide
sufficient whatsoever times and check
frequently to prevent parched as well as
hungry chicks. Chick food is different compared
to adult chicken food, as well as it can be found in both medicated as well as non-medicated varieties. Feed chick food for the
first 2 months, then
change to a grower food (~ 17 %
protein) for another 2 months,
then to a somewhat
reduced healthy protein feed or a level feed
(if you have levels). Dirt Some chicks prefer to obtain a head start on taking
filth baths, while others won't take
up that activity up until they are
older. If you have the area in your chick
room, present a tray of sand or
dust for them to wash in.
Interest and love There are a couple of benefits to hanging
out with your chicks. To start
with, they will probably bond with you and
not flee as grownups. Second, if you
examine your chicks daily as well as
view their actions, you could
catch health problem or various
other problems previously. Watch out for hissing, limping, or
other unhealthy
signs. Be sure to
likewise check out
their poop, as looseness of the bowels could lead
to matted plumes and also blocked cloaca.
Last but not least, it is important to watch out for social problems, such as the
tiniest chick obtaining picked
on. Vacant nest disorder So your
chicks are now fully feathered
as well as its time for them to leave the
safety of your residence
and relocate outside right into a cage. Check out our
section on chicken coops to learn more
about coops and
correct cage habitats.
