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!

catalog is a yearly traditions in many houses. My kids and I eagerly await
the Murray McMurray Hatchery catalog. We love looking at all the cool and
different chicken breeds available. Catalogs are free so head on over to

Typically hatcheries online offer both standard breeds
and bantams. Bantams are fun hardy little chickens, they lay tiny eggs
that kids especially love collecting. Bantams typically weigh less than 2
pounds when full grown. Just like ordering anything online there are pros
and cons to ordering baby chicks online. Pros of buying baby chicks in

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
West Chicago 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 West Chicago,
Illinois Baby chicks are quite
adorable as well as
tough to resist,
yet it's ideal to plan for their
arrival before you obtain them. Prepare first
by gathering not just the
appropriate materials, yet
also the proper
understanding to take care of
them. Raising baby chicks is relatively
basic, you just should offer them with the following: A tidy and also cozy
environment A lot of food and also water Attention and
love Habitat Your environment could be an easy box, aquarium,
feline service provider, or guinea
porker cage. Line it with old towels and also
blankets (with no loosened
strings!) to begin, as well as after a few weeks utilize straw over newspaper.
Keep in mind: Avoid making use of just
paper or other slipper
surfaces-- or your chicks legs can expand
misshapen. You likewise need
something to serve up food as well as
water in, such as a chicken feeder and water
meal from the feed store, or a pickle jar
cover for food as well as a family
pet bird water dispenser from a family pet store. Likewise, as the chicks get
older you can present a perch
right into the environment to obtain them
educated on perching. Warmth To
maintain your chicks warm you need to
offer them with a warmth source.
This can be as easy as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp design light from an equipment store, or an infrared reptile warmth
light bulb also function effectively (my
suggestion). Chicks need this
warmth 24/7 till their downy fluff is
changed with feathers (which could take up to 2 months). The newly
hatched out need a temperature
in between 90 and also 100 degrees,
as well as each week this can
be decreased by
approximately 5 degrees or
so. The warmth resource need to get on just one side of the cage
to enable chicks a variety of
temperatures. The chicks are your best
thermostat- if they are concealing in the
opposite corner of your heat
lamp, you need to
minimize the temperature. If
they are smothering each various other under the
heat (not just snuggling),
you need to add some heat.
Housekeeping
Tidiness is essential and also it maintains your chicks healthy. Make certain to alter
the bed linens
typically as well as
consistently provide clean
food as well as water Food and water.
Chicks expand quite quickly
which calls for a lot of tidy
food and water. Give
sufficient whatsoever times as well
as check
frequently to
stop parched and also
hungry chicks. Chick food is different than grown-up chicken food, and also it comes
in both medicated and non-medicated selections. Feed chick food for the
very first two months, after that
switch to a raiser food (~ 17 %
protein) for an additional 2 months,
and then to a slightly
reduced healthy protein feed or a level feed
(if you have layers). Dirt Some chicks like to get a running start on taking
dirt baths, while others will not occupy that task up until they are
older. If you have the area in your chick
room, present a tray of sand or
dirt for them to wash in.
Focus and also love There are a
few benefits to spending time with your chicks. First of all, they will most
likely bond with you and also
not flee as grownups. Second, if you
examine your chicks daily and
view their actions, you could
catch illness or other troubles earlier. Watch out for wheezing, limping, or
various other undesirable
signs. Make sure to
likewise check out
their poop, as looseness of the bowels can result in matted feathers as well
as obstructed cloaca.
Last but not least, it is necessary to look out
for social issues, such as the
smallest chick getting badgered. Empty nest syndrome So your
chicks are now totally feathered
and also its time for them to leave the
security of your house
and also move outside right into a cage. Have a look at our
part on chicken coops to get more information
concerning cages as well as
appropriate coop environments.
