I'm interested, Cathryn. And not to 'ruffle anyone's feathers', I found the article so irritating, I could hardly finish it. I deal with this mentality all the time. These "egg heads" who have not one OUNCE of common sense let alone any compassion or ability to look into their own soul OR, God FORBID, get out on the ground and get their fricken hands dirty actually learning the TRUTH about the animal they are spouting off on.....oh man. I am glad the awareness is rising for the plight of factory farmed chickens and other animals. Some where, this article will give someone another view of chickens...the dirty rotten bastard scoundrels that they are, barely functioning over the mentality of an amoeba....sigh. There are lots of articles that writer might have referred to, such as the ones documenting a chicken's ability to recognize shapes or recognize up to 100 human faces.
I am not religious, but one thing I always appreciated about Jesus. He was able to 'meet people where they 'were'". He could communicate the same message of love and peace to every walk of life. So, keeping that in mind, I try to grant that writer the benefit of the doubt. MAYbe someone who had never heard of the plight of chickens will be waked up for the first time and decide to do something about it on his own.
I am not against eating meat. But I am against brutality and cruelty and I try not to be part of it. Yes, we eat organic, free range chicken, raised here in the states. But how do we really KNOW that's what's in that package? And how do we really KNOW what "Certified Humane" really means, especially when giant poultry processors like Foster Farms are putting that on their labels?
Ok, ok, I'll stop ranting.
And to end on a note of joy, we're having chicks popping out right and left around here! We have Modern Game Bantams, but I also have a Red Shouldered Yokahama hen, and now I have THREE half Modern, half Yokahama chicks! I am really excited about them.

Ok, no one is interested. I'll share one I found. Meat chickens Cornish X and Vantress have very short life spans and genetically predisposed to mature at a very early rate.Cathryn rainbowsilkiesTM in Michigan

I am all for food animals raised in cleanliness, with good food, clean water, with room to stretch or lay down, but how much is being pushed using misconceptions?Cathryn rainbowsilkiesTM in Michigan
