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
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
Fresno Texas 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 Fresno,
Texas Baby chicks are really
adorable as well as
tough to withstand,
but it's best to plan for their
arrival prior to you obtain them. Prepare initially
by gathering not only the
proper products, yet
also the correct
expertise to look after
them. Raising baby chicks is reasonably
simple, you merely need
to give them with the following: A
clean and cozy
environment A lot of food and water Interest and
love Environment Your habitat could be a basic box, fish tank,
cat carrier, or guinea
porker cage. Line it with old towels and also
coverings (without loose
strings!) to begin, and after a few weeks use straw over newspaper.
Keep in mind: Avoid using just
newspaper or other slipper
surfaces-- or your chicks legs could grow
malformed. You additionally require
something to provide food as well as
water in, such as a chicken feeder and also water
meal from the feed shop, or a pickle container
cover for food and also a pet bird water dispenser from a
pet dog store. Additionally, as the chicks get
older you can introduce a perch
right into the habitat to obtain them
trained on setting down. Warmth To
maintain your chicks heat you have to
provide them with a warmth source.
This can be as straightforward as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp style lamp from an equipment store, or an infrared reptile heat
bulb additionally work very
well (my
referral). Chicks need this
warmth 24/7 up until their downy fluff is
changed with plumes (which can use
up to 2 months). The newly
hatched require a temperature level
in between 90 as well as 100 degrees,
and weekly this can
be minimized by
roughly 5 levels or
so. The warmth resource ought
to be on merely one side of the cage
to permit chicks a range of
temperature levels. The chicks are your ideal
thermostat- if they are hiding in the
opposite edge of your heat
lamp, you need to
minimize the temperature level. If
they are surrounding each various other under the
warmth (not simply cuddling),
you should put some warmth.
Home cleaning
Tidiness is key as
well as it keeps your chicks healthy and
balanced. Be sure to transform
the bedding
typically and
always give clean
food and also water Food and also water.
Chicks grow very fast
which requires lots of clean
food and water. Supply
sufficient at all times and also inspect
commonly to avoid dehydrated and also
starving chicks. Chick food is different than grown-up chicken food, as well as it can be found in both medicated and
also non-medicated ranges. Feed chick food for the
first 2 months, then
switch to a grower food (~ 17 %
healthy protein) for an additional 2 months,
and then to a slightly
lower protein feed or a level feed
(if you have layers). Soil Some chicks want
to get a running start on taking
dirt bathrooms, while others will not occupy that task until they are
older. If you have the area in your chick
unit, introduce a tray of sand or
dirt for them to shower in.
Interest as well as love There are a
few advantages to spending time with your chicks. Firstly, they will most
likely bond with you and also
not escape as grownups. Second, if you
analyze your chicks daily as well as
see their behavior, you can
catch ailment or other issues previously. Watch out for hissing, limping, or
various other unhealthy
indications. Make sure to
additionally look at
their poop, as diarrhea can cause matted feathers as well
as clogged up cloaca.
Finally, it is important to watch out for social problems, such as the
littlest chick obtaining badgered. Vacant nest syndrome So your
chicks are currently completely feathery
and also its time for them to leave the
safety and security of your home
and also move outside into a cage. Check out our
part on chicken cages to read more
about cages and
correct coop environments.
