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!

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

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
La Fayette Illinois 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 La Fayette,
Illinois Baby chicks are extremely
adorable and also
tough to withstand,
but it's ideal to plan for their
arrival before you obtain them. Prepare initially
by collecting not just the
right products, yet
also the appropriate
understanding to look after
them. Raising baby chicks is fairly
straightforward, you just should offer them with the following: A
clean and warm and comfortable
habitat Lots of food and water Interest and
love Environment Your habitat can be a straightforward box, aquarium,
cat carrier, or guinea
porker cage. Line it with old towels and also
coverings (with no loosened
strings!) to start, and after a
couple of weeks make use of straw over paper.
Note: Avoid using only
newspaper or various other slipper
surfaces-- or your chicks legs can grow
misshapen. You additionally require
something to serve up food and
water in, such as a chicken feeder as well as water
recipe from the feed shop, or a pickle container
lid for food and also a pet dog bird water dispenser from an animal store. Also, as the chicks get
older you can present a perch
into the environment to get them
trained on setting down. Heat To
maintain your chicks warm you should
offer them with a heat resource.
This can be as basic as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp design lamp from a
hardware store, or an infrared reptile warmth
bulb likewise function extremely well (my
suggestion). Chicks need this
warmth 24/7 till their downy fluff is
changed with feathers (which can take up to 2 months). The freshly
hatched out require a temperature
between 90 and also 100 degrees,
and also each week this could
be reduced by
around 5 degrees approximately. The warmth resource must be on just one side of the cage
to allow chicks an array of
temperatures. The chicks are your finest
thermometer- if they are hiding in the
other corner of your heat
light, you need to
minimize the temperature level. If
they are smothering each other under the
warmth (not simply curling up),
you have to put some warmth.
Housekeeping
Sanitation is vital and also it maintains your chicks healthy. Be sure to transform
the bedding
commonly and also
always give clean
food and water Food and also water.
Chicks expand very fast
which requires lots of clean
food and also water. Provide
sufficient at all times and examine
usually to avoid thirsty and also
hungry chicks. Chick food is different compared
to adult chicken food, as well as it comes
in both medicated as well as non-medicated selections. Feed chick food for the
first two months, after that
switch over to a grower food (~ 17 %
protein) for another 2 months,
and after that to a somewhat
lower healthy protein feed or a layer feed
(if you have levels). Soil Some chicks prefer to obtain a running start on taking
filth bathrooms, while others won't use up that task up until they are
older. If you have the space in your chick
enclosure, introduce a tray of sand or
filth for them to shower in.
Focus and also love There are a
few advantages to spending quality time with your chicks. Firstly, they will most
likely bond with you and also
not run away as grownups. Second, if you
analyze your chicks daily and
see their habits, you could
catch health problem or other issues earlier. Watch out for wheezing, limping, or
other unhealthy
signs. Make sure to
additionally look at
their poop, as looseness of the bowels can cause matted feathers and blocked cloaca.
Lastly, it is necessary to keep an eye out for social problems, such as the
littlest chick getting picked
on. Empty nest syndrome So your
chicks are currently totally feathered
and its time for them to leave the
safety and security of your home
and also move outside into a cage. Look into our
area on chicken cages to learn more
about coops and also
proper cage habitats.
