> Store chickens are not happy chickens. They are more like crack > whore chickens forced to pop out eggs under duress.
My father-in-law was general manager (now retired) at Wilcox Farms, a family-owned crack-hen-whore outfit that supplies milk and eggs to Costco here in WA. I've been on the tour. No duress or force is applied. Spent hens go to Campbell's. One of his favorite stories about how smart chickens are is from once when they were inoculating chickens. Easy way was to move the chicken one cage over as you went down the line. That way you didn't forget where you left off. After they did this the chickens all stopped laying, etc. Turns out they were thirsting to death. Couldn't figure out that the water was now on the other side of the cage. (Two spigots out of a waterer at the corner of every other cage.) They shifted the chickens back over one cage and all was well again. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
