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

was worth it! How to Care for your new baby chickens in Seabeck,
Washington Baby chicks are very
adorable and
difficult to withstand,
yet it's finest to prepare for their
arrival before you obtain them. Prepare initially
by collecting not only the
appropriate materials, however
likewise the appropriate
understanding to care for
them. Raising baby chicks is relatively
easy, you just need
to supply them with the following: A tidy and warm and comfortable
habitat Plenty of food and water Attention and
love Environment Your environment can be a basic box, fish tank,
pet cat carrier, or guinea
pig cage. Line it with old towels and also
coverings (with no loose
strings!) to begin, as well as after a few weeks utilize straw over paper.
Keep in mind: Avoid utilizing just
paper or various other slipper
surface areas-- or your chicks legs could expand
misshapen. You additionally require
something to provide food and also
water in, such as a chicken feeder and water
meal from the feed shop, or a pickle container
cover for food and a pet bird water dispenser from a pet shop. Also, as the chicks get
older you could present a perch
right into the environment to get them
trained on perching. Warmth To
maintain your chicks warm you should
offer them with a heat source.
This could be as straightforward as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp design light from a
hardware store, or an infrared reptile heat
light bulb additionally function extremely well (my
referral). Chicks require this
warmth 24/7 till their downy fluff is
changed with feathers (which could occupy to 2 months). The freshly
hatched require a temperature
in between 90 and also 100 levels,
as well as weekly this can
be reduced by
around 5 degrees approximately. The warmth resource should get on just one side of the cage
to allow chicks a range of
temperature levels. The chicks are your best
thermostat- if they are hiding in the
other corner of your heat
light, you should
reduce the temperature. If
they are smothering each other under the
heat (not merely cuddling),
you have to add some warmth.
House cleaning
Sanitation is crucial and also it maintains your chicks healthy. Be sure to change
the bed linen
usually and also
always offer tidy
food and water Food and also water.
Chicks grow very quickly
which needs lots of tidy
food and also water. Provide
enough whatsoever times and examine
commonly to
stop parched and also
hungry chicks. Chick food is various than grown-up chicken food, and also it is available in both medicated as well as non-medicated selections. Feed chick food for the
first two months, after that
switch over to a raiser food (~ 17 %
protein) for one more 2 months,
and then to a somewhat
reduced protein feed or a level feed
(if you have levels). Dirt Some chicks like to get a running start on taking
dust baths, while others will not take
up that task till they are
older. If you have the space in your chick
room, introduce a tray of sand or
filth for them to shower in.
Interest as well as love There are a couple of benefits to hanging
out with your chicks. First off, they will certainly more than likely bond with you and also
not escape as grownups. Second, if you
analyze your chicks daily and also
enjoy their actions, you could
catch illness or various
other problems earlier. Watch out for hissing, limping, or
various other unhealthy
signs. Make certain to
likewise take a look at
their poop, as looseness of the bowels could lead
to matted feathers as well
as clogged cloaca.
Last but not least, it is very
important to look out
for social concerns, such as the
littlest chick getting teased. Vacant nest syndrome So your
chicks are currently completely feathery
and its time for them to leave the
security of your home
and move outside right into a
coop. Check out our
section on chicken cages to read more
about coops and also
proper cage environments.
