I was raised with egg chickens and those little shits are so happy and peaceful, they are given warmth and food and housing and protection- same with meat ones, they live so well and issue-free, they are protected from predators and never run out of food, wheres the problem??? THey will die eventually anyway! I'd rather have chickens raised well and killed ethically than them get treated badly, cause I will be eating chicken either way, they taste good.

RIGHT like... this is a quality of life thing for me, they aren't exactly living in a factory farm!! these motherfuckers live well. and they owe me money. also we don't generally butcher our birds, personally, we just let them get old- but I'm starting to think that we should, bc when chickens live a little too long then their deaths start getting REAL stressful

#just more suffer-y in general. like normally a chicken would be butchered before they get Old enough #to start having really mysterious health problems #and dying like in a slow type of way. BLEAK.#also as far as veterinary care for chickens that doesn't really exist So Much #bc that's not really an animal that farmers are going to try and Fix if there's something bad enough to take it to a vet #like you can get your goat seen by a country vet but not really a chicken #we've had a hen Sewn Up by our vet before but that's not like. what he DOES. that's not his city #and so it's like. veterinary care for a bird costs more than just getting another Whole Bird. so there isn't demand for that
