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

Typically hatcheries online offer both standard breeds

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
Belmont Massachusetts 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 Belmont,
Massachusetts Baby chicks are quite
cute as well as
hard to withstand,
but it's finest to plan for their
arrival prior to you get them. Prepare initially
by gathering not only the
right products, yet
additionally the correct
knowledge to take care of
them. Raising baby chicks is reasonably
simple, you just should provide them with the following: A
clean and also cozy
environment Lots of food and water Attention and also
love Habitat Your environment could be a
simple box, aquarium,
pet cat service provider, or guinea
porker cage. Line it with old towels and
blankets (without any loosened
strings!) to begin, as well as after a
couple of weeks utilize straw over paper.
Keep in mind: Avoid using only
newspaper or other slipper
surfaces-- or your chicks legs can grow
malformed. You also need
something to serve up food and
water in, such as a chicken feeder and water
meal from the feed store, or a pickle container
cover for food and also a family
pet bird water dispenser from a pet shop. Additionally, as the chicks grow older you could present a perch
right into the environment to obtain them
trained on setting down. Warmth To
maintain your chicks heat you have to
supply them with a warmth resource.
This could be as easy as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp design lamp from an equipment shop, or an infrared reptile warmth
light bulb likewise work effectively (my
recommendation). Chicks require this
heat 24/7 up until their downy fluff is
replaced with plumes (which can take up to two months). The newly
hatched out need a temperature
between 90 and 100 levels,
and also weekly this could
be reduced by
about 5 degrees or
so. The heat source must be 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
opposite corner of your heat
lamp, you should
decrease the temperature. If
they are smothering each other under the
heat (not merely cuddling),
you should include some warmth.
Home cleaning
Cleanliness is crucial and it maintains your chicks healthy and
balanced. Make certain to change
the bedding
usually as well as
constantly give clean
food and also water Food and water.
Chicks grow really fast
which calls for a lot of tidy
food and also water. Offer
enough at all times as well
as examine
commonly to prevent parched and
starving chicks. Chick food is various than grown-up chicken food, and also it can be found in both medicated as well as non-medicated varieties. Feed chick food for the
first 2 months, after that
switch to a raiser food (~ 17 %
protein) for another 2 months,
then to a slightly
reduced healthy protein feed or a layer feed
(if you have levels). Soil Some chicks want
to get a head start on taking
dirt bathrooms, while others will not use up that activity until they are
older. If you have the area in your chick
room, present a tray of sand or
filth for them to shower in.
Attention as well as love There are a couple of benefits to spending time with your chicks. First off, they will probably bond with you and also
not escape as adults. Second, if you
analyze your chicks daily and also
enjoy their behavior, you could
catch disease or other issues previously. Keep an
eye out for hissing, hopping, or
various other unhealthy
signs. Make sure to
also check out
their poop, as looseness of the bowels can result in matted feathers and clogged up cloaca.
Last but not least, it is important to look out
for social concerns, such as the
tiniest chick obtaining picked
on. Empty nest disorder So your
chicks are now totally feathery
as well as its time for them to leave the
safety and security of your house
and also relocate outside into a cage. Look into our
section on chicken coops to learn more
about cages and
proper coop environments.
