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
Pilgrims Knob Virginia 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

was worth it! How to Care for your new baby chickens in Pilgrims Knob,
Virginia Baby chicks are extremely
charming and
tough to resist,
but it's ideal to plan for their
arrival before you obtain them. Prepare initially
by gathering not only the
correct products, but
also the proper
expertise to care for
them. Raising baby chicks is relatively
straightforward, you merely have to supply them with the following: A
clean and also warm
habitat Plenty of food and water Focus and
love Habitat Your habitat could be a basic box, fish tank,
cat carrier, or guinea
pig cage. Line it with old towels and also
coverings (without loose
strings!) to begin, and also after a
couple of weeks make use of straw over paper.
Keep in mind: Avoid making use of just
newspaper or other sandal
surfaces-- or your chicks legs can grow
malformed. You also require
something to dish out food as well as
water in, such as a chicken feeder and water
recipe from the feed shop, or a pickle jar
lid for food as well as a family
pet bird water dispenser from an animal store. Likewise, as the chicks grow older you could present a perch
into the environment to obtain them
educated on setting down. Warmth To
keep your chicks heat you should
provide them with a warmth resource.
This could be as simple as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp style light from a
hardware store, or an infrared reptile warmth
bulb likewise function extremely well (my
suggestion). Chicks require this
warmth 24/7 till their downy fluff is
replaced with feathers (which could use
up to 2 months). The freshly
hatched out need a temperature level
between 90 and 100 levels,
as well as weekly this could
be lowered by
about 5 levels or
so. The warmth source ought
to get on merely one side of the cage
to enable chicks a variety of
temperature levels. The chicks are your ideal
thermometer- if they are hiding in the
other corner of your warmth
lamp, you need to
minimize the temperature level. If
they are smothering each various other under the
heat (not merely curling up),
you need to include some heat.
House cleaning
Cleanliness is vital and it keeps your chicks healthy. Make certain to transform
the bed linen
frequently and also
constantly give clean
food and water Food and also water.
Chicks expand extremely quick
which calls for lots of tidy
food as well as water. Supply
sufficient in any way times and inspect
often to prevent parched and also
starving chicks. Chick food is various than adult chicken food, and it can be found in both medicated as well as non-medicated ranges. Feed chick food for the
very first two months, then
switch to a raiser food (~ 17 %
healthy protein) for one more 2 months,
and after that to a slightly
lower protein feed or a level feed
(if you have levels). Soil Some chicks like to obtain a head start on taking
filth bathrooms, while others will not use up that task until they are
older. If you have the area in your chick
unit, present a tray of sand or
filth for them to wash in.
Interest and also love There are a couple of benefits to hanging
out with your chicks. To start
with, they will probably bond with you and
not run away as grownups. Second, if you
analyze your chicks daily and also
see their actions, you can
catch illness or various
other troubles previously. Keep an
eye out for wheezing, limping, or
various other harmful
indicators. Make sure to
likewise check out
their poop, as looseness of the bowels could lead
to matted feathers as well
as stopped up cloaca.
Finally, it is necessary to look out
for social concerns, such as the
littlest chick getting picked
on. Empty nest syndrome So your
chicks are currently totally feathered
as well as its time for them to leave the
security of your house
and also move outside right into a cage. Take a look at our
section on chicken coops for more information
regarding coops and also
correct coop habitats.
