How do you feel about chicken? I have a small farm with a bunch..
You mean the domesticated fowl?
Yes! That's the one. The ancestor of the dinosaur.
Are they really an ancestor of the dinosaur? They are the most common widespread domestic animals today.
I think that's the theory. We own heritage breeds which can lay eggs for up to 8 years.
Are heritage chickens like heritage turkeys? They are a domestic turkey which retains historic characteristics no longer present in 20th century chickens.
Yes exactly. And they are exclusively kept by small farmers. Large farm operations use production hens.
Wow you know a lot about this, however were you aware that more than 50 billion chickens are raised annually for consumption>?
Wow! It must be human beings consumption of them that keeps their population higher than any other bird in the world?
Yeah I'm not a very big fan of the way we mass produce chickens for consumption. We aren't considering any of those animals rights when we pack them into small cages and force feed them, ignoring their basic interests.
