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!

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

experience of me. It can be a little frustrating waiting for the chicks

was worth it! How to Care for your new baby chickens in Prospect Harbor,
Maine Baby chicks are really
charming and
tough to resist,
yet it's best to prepare for their
arrival prior to you get them. Prepare first
by gathering not just the
appropriate materials, but
likewise the appropriate
expertise to care for
them. Raising baby chicks is fairly
straightforward, you just need
to offer them with the following: A tidy and cozy
environment Lots of food as well
as water Attention as well as
love Habitat Your environment can be a basic box, aquarium,
feline carrier, or guinea
porker cage. Line it with old towels and
blankets (without any loose
strings!) to start, as well as after a few weeks make use of straw over newspaper.
Keep in mind: Avoid utilizing just
paper or other slipper
surface areas-- or your chicks legs could grow
malformed. You likewise need
something to provide food and also
water in, such as a chicken feeder and also water
recipe from the feed shop, or a pickle jar
cover for food and also a family
pet bird water dispenser from a family pet store. Additionally, as the chicks age you could introduce a perch
right into the habitat to get them
educated on setting down. Heat To
keep your chicks warm you have to
give them with a heat source.
This can be as basic as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp style lamp from a
hardware shop, or an infrared reptile warmth
light bulb likewise work very
well (my
referral). Chicks require this
warmth 24/7 till their downy fluff is
replaced with plumes (which can occupy to two months). The newly
hatched require a temperature
in between 90 and also 100 levels,
and every week this can
be minimized by
roughly 5 degrees or
so. The heat resource ought
to get on just one side of the cage
to permit chicks a variety of
temperature levels. The chicks are your best
thermostat- if they are concealing in the
contrary corner of your warmth
lamp, you have to
reduce the temperature. If
they are surrounding each other under the
heat (not just cuddling),
you should add some warmth.
Housekeeping
Sanitation is vital as
well as it keeps your chicks healthy and
balanced. Make certain to alter
the bed linens
usually and
always supply tidy
food and also water Food and water.
Chicks expand very fast
which needs lots of tidy
food and water. Give
sufficient at all times as well
as examine
typically to avoid dehydrated and
hungry chicks. Chick food is different compared
to grown-up chicken food, and also it comes
in both medicated and
also non-medicated ranges. Feed chick food for the
first 2 months, after that
change to a grower food (~ 17 %
protein) for another 2 months,
and afterwards to a slightly
lower healthy protein feed or a layer feed
(if you have layers). Dirt Some chicks like to get a head start on taking
dust baths, while others will not take
up that activity up until they are
older. If you have the room in your chick
room, introduce a tray of sand or
dirt for them to shower in.
Interest as well as love There are a couple of advantages to spending time with your chicks. Firstly, they will probably bond with you and
not flee as adults. Second, if you
examine your chicks daily and
enjoy their behavior, you can
catch health problem or other problems earlier. Watch out for hissing, hopping, or
other unhealthy
indications. Make certain to
additionally take a look at
their poop, as diarrhea can bring about matted feathers and also obstructed cloaca.
Lastly, it is very
important to keep an eye out for social issues, such as the
tiniest chick getting teased. Empty nest disorder So your
chicks are now totally feathered
as well as its time for them to leave the
safety and security of your residence
as well as move outside into a
coop. Have a look at our
area on chicken cages for more information
regarding coops as well as
correct cage environments.
