What do you do with all the male chicks that are hatched? You forgot to
mention this. They are killed at birth… There is no such thing as
“humane” animal farming. Organic/humane farming is just a very clever
marketing ploy.

Second, not all producers load the feed with antibiotics. It is necessary
for them to be, as you claim in the video, “hygenic.” However, whenever
that happens, the chicken uses the substances & chemicals provided, so it’s
a slippery slope to say that whatever is fed to the chickens will show up
when you crack the egg. As far as the chemically drenched pastures, well…
that’s just preposterous. Even if the grass is contaminated, then keep them
in the cages and there won’t be a problem!

Thank you for sharing this with us. This may actually make me want to eat
some eggs again. No more chicken for me though.

@chiyerano And these chickens grow like they are supposed so that their
legs can keep up with their growth. With growth hormones, many chickens’
legs give out and these chickens end up dying in their own feces and
contaminating the rest of the chickens. Simply put, you cannot obtain good
health from sick animals.

Support Organic Farmers and humane farming of animals by buying organic
products and talking about commercialized farming to your family and
friends. Its all about educating people and getting them to realize that
you are what you eat. We get sick all the time because our food is poisoned
and the animals are sick. If you caught a fish and it had sores and
infection all over it would you still eat it? It is the same with
commercial farming. The animals are sick and the govt should make a change.

@HajiKill2012.. Clearly you have no regard for the chickens if you think
the caged ones are treated well. Look at their feet from having to stand on
wire caging all day/night! De-beaking them? This is humane? Really?? Why
don’t we de-beak you and let you live like that for a month… Then you can
tell us what you think about it! People like you disgust me!

@visualkeirockstar I thought they do it to fatten up the chickens faster to
sell on the market.

Personally, I’d like to know where she gets her information. Producers do
not feed their birds the “cheapest” feed they can find. It is recommended
that they are given specific nutrients they need at a certain age. For
example, pullet grower diets should contain a minimum of 3% fiber. Body
weight & frame development during the first 7-9 weeks of life will respond
to higher levels of protein in the diet. After that, more adjustments will
need to be made. So… no, it’s about finding what’s cheap.

Nice vid. Can I do this on a smaller scale as a start for organic eggs for
family and for sale? What breeds should I get and how many of them to
start?

@chiyerano Especially if the eggs were unfertilized and so were unlikely to
hatch into any new chickens.
