An undercover investigation video filmed by shows the mistreatment and abuse inside chicken hatcheries in Spain. Filming took two years and the revealing images are disturbing. Workers rip heads off of baby chicks, and throw male baby chicks into the trash to dump them when they aren’t considered profitable.
“This shocking footage shows what the meat industry is so eager to hide. The systematic abuse of animals is an integral part of factory farming. We urge consumers to watch this footage and reduce the amount of chicken meat in their diets. This will benefit their health, the environment and animals.” Sharon Nunez, Animal Equality International Director.
Animal Equality is an international animal protection organization whose goal is to expose the horrific truth of animal cruelty in four main arenas: farmed animals, the clothing trade, laboratories, and the entertainment industry.
Over 36 million people have seen the video worldwide. The video is part of an intensive investigation. Be warned, you will see abuse of animals if you view the video. You can view the video at . .
The video will show the following:
Brutal handling of animals with no consideration for their welfare.
Baby chickens being thrown alive into containers and crushed with clubs.
Workers ripping the heads off of chicks that aren’t considered profitable.
Sick baby chickens suffocating in containers.
Animal Equality is aware the images are disturbing but feel the harsh realities should be seen by the public to see what animals face.

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

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

Baby Chicks Buy in
Wickliffe, Kentucky
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
Wickliffe Kentucky 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 Wickliffe,
Kentucky Baby chicks are really
cute and also
challenging to withstand,
yet it's best to prepare for their
arrival before you obtain them. Prepare first
by gathering not only the
appropriate materials, yet
also the proper
expertise to care for
them. Raising baby chicks is fairly
simple, you merely have to give them with the following: A tidy and also cozy
habitat A lot of food and water Attention and
love Habitat Your environment can be a
simple box, aquarium,
cat service provider, or guinea
porker cage. Line it with old towels and
blankets (with no loose
strings!) to start, as well as after a
couple of weeks use straw over paper.
Keep in mind: Avoid using just
paper or other slipper
surface areas-- or your chicks legs could grow
malformed. You also require
something to serve up food and
water in, such as a chicken feeder and also water
meal from the feed store, or a pickle container
cover for food and also an animal bird water dispenser from a
pet dog shop. Also, as the chicks age you could introduce a perch
into the environment to obtain them
educated on perching. Warmth To
keep your chicks heat you should
supply them with a warmth resource.
This could be as simple as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp design light from a
hardware shop, or an infrared reptile warmth
light bulb also work extremely well (my
suggestion). Chicks need this
heat 24/7 until their downy fluff is
replaced with feathers (which could occupy to 2 months). The freshly
hatched out require a temperature level
in between 90 and also 100 levels,
as well as each week this could
be minimized by
around 5 levels or
so. The heat resource need to get on merely one side of the cage
to enable chicks a range of
temperatures. The chicks are your finest
thermometer- if they are concealing in the
opposite edge of your warmth
light, you should
decrease the temperature. If
they are smothering each various other under the
heat (not merely cuddling),
you need to include some warmth.
House cleaning
Cleanliness is essential and also it keeps your chicks healthy. Make certain to change
the bed linen
typically and also
constantly provide clean
food and also water Food and water.
Chicks expand really quickly
which requires a lot of clean
food and water. Supply
enough in any way times and also check
usually to avoid parched and also
hungry chicks. Chick food is different compared
to grown-up chicken food, and also it comes
in both medicated and non-medicated varieties. Feed chick food for the
initial 2 months, then
switch to a grower food (~ 17 %
healthy protein) for one more 2 months,
and then to a slightly
reduced protein feed or a level feed
(if you have levels). Dirt Some chicks want
to get a running start on taking
dirt baths, while others will not use up that activity till they are
older. If you have the space in your chick
enclosure, present a tray of sand or
dust for them to bathe in.
Interest as well as love There are a couple of benefits to spending time with your chicks. First of all, they will more than likely bond with you as well as
not run away as grownups. Second, if you
examine your chicks daily as well as
see their actions, you could
capture illness or other issues previously. Keep an
eye out for hissing, limping, or
various other harmful
indicators. Make certain to
additionally check out
their poop, as looseness of the bowels could cause matted plumes as well
as stopped up cloaca.
Last but not least, it is important to keep an eye out for social concerns, such as the
littlest chick getting badgered. Vacant nest syndrome So your
chicks are currently completely feathery
as well as its time for them to leave the
safety and security of your residence
and also relocate outside right into a
coop. Take a look at our
section on chicken cages to get more information
about coops as well as
correct cage environments.
