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!

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
Bar Mills Maine 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 Bar Mills,
Maine Baby chicks are quite
adorable and
challenging to withstand,
however it's ideal to prepare for their
arrival prior to you get them. Prepare first
by gathering not only the
proper products, however
additionally the proper
understanding to look after
them. Raising baby chicks is relatively
basic, you simply have to give them with the following: A tidy as well as warm and comfortable
environment Plenty of food and also water Attention and
love Habitat Your environment can be a straightforward box, aquarium,
feline carrier, or guinea
pig cage. Line it with old towels and
blankets (without any loosened
strings!) to begin, and also after a few weeks use straw over newspaper.
Keep in mind: Avoid utilizing only
paper or other sandal
surface areas-- or your chicks legs can grow
misshapen. You additionally require
something to provide food as well as
water in, such as a chicken feeder and also water
dish from the feed store, or a pickle jar
lid for food and a family
pet bird water dispenser from a
pet dog shop. Likewise, as the chicks age you could introduce a perch
into the habitat to get them
educated on setting down. Heat To
maintain your chicks warm you have to
give them with a heat resource.
This can be as easy as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp design light from a
hardware shop, or an infrared reptile heat
bulb also work effectively (my
suggestion). Chicks require this
heat 24/7 until their downy fluff is
replaced with feathers (which could take up to 2 months). The freshly
hatched require a temperature
in between 90 and also 100 levels,
as well as each week this could
be decreased by
about 5 degrees or
so. The warmth resource ought
to get on simply one side of the cage
to enable chicks a variety of
temperature levels. The chicks are your best
thermometer- if they are concealing in the
contrary edge of your warmth
light, you have to
decrease the temperature. If
they are smothering each various other under the
heat (not just snuggling),
you have to add some warmth.
House cleaning
Tidiness is vital and also it maintains your chicks healthy. Make certain to transform
the bed linen
typically as well as
always supply clean
food as well as water Food and also water.
Chicks expand very quickly
which calls for a lot of tidy
food and also water. Offer
enough whatsoever times as well
as examine
typically to avoid thirsty and
hungry chicks. Chick food is different than grown-up chicken food, and also it is available in both medicated and non-medicated ranges. Feed chick food for the
very first 2 months, after that
switch to a raiser food (~ 17 %
protein) for another 2 months,
then to a somewhat
lower healthy protein feed or a level feed
(if you have layers). Dirt Some chicks want
to get a running start on taking
dirt bathrooms, while others won't take
up that activity up until they are
older. If you have the space in your chick
room, present a tray of sand or
dirt for them to bathe in.
Focus and love There are a couple of benefits to hanging
out with your chicks. Firstly, 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 behavior, you could
capture illness or various
other issues previously. Keep an
eye out for wheezing, hopping, or
other unhealthy
indications. Make certain to
likewise consider
their poop, as diarrhea can cause matted plumes and also clogged up cloaca.
Finally, it is essential to watch out for social problems, such as the
littlest chick getting picked
on. Empty nest syndrome So your
chicks are now totally feathery
and also its time for them to leave the
safety of your residence
and relocate outside into a
coop. Check out our
part on chicken coops to learn more
concerning cages as well as
correct coop environments.
