Guest guest Posted February 1, 2001 Report Share Posted February 1, 2001 Chris and Rawvegan, did it ever occur to you guys that I might raise my own chickens?? Well, I used to have a few hens for several years but had to give them to a good home when I moved back into the city.... but.... my brother now has three very HAPPY, HEALTHY, free roaming, worm eating, dirt scratching, sun bathing, ever clucking happy hens!<br><br>Therefore I am NOT " participating in the killing of one or more chickens for eggs " .<br><br>My bro has had these birds for several years and wouldn't think of killing them if they stopped laying. They're great for keeping down the bug population in his back yard ;~}<br><br>Hey, I wonder if chickens eat ladybugs. hmmmm....<br><br>Chris, yes I eat the eggs raw, blended in my smoothie. Good stuff, Maynard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 2, 2001 Report Share Posted February 2, 2001 Hi ya Teri.<br> I was HOPING that that was going to be your answer. Yes if that is what people are doing to get raw eggs that is fine. But I am sure that most people who eat eggs do not eat eggs from such happy birds. I commend you Teri.<br>I was of course warning people that just because eggs in the shops all free range they are not totally cruelty free. Yes the hens are looked after better whilst alive but they don't usually live beyond egg producing, and that to have chicken the males are slaughtered for food. What else would they do with 50% male eggs!?<br>I do hope things are OK for you Teri.<br>Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
