OK, I don’t get it. You brag on your truly “free range” chickens and eggs,
even putting straw in a nest that is a roll-a-way nest but you keep your
poor pigs in confinement. You call that “natural”? They get
“sunshine?” I am really confused. Seems hypocritical to me. And the
hogs are maybe Berkshire cross but not Berks.

Why do you cut the laying hens beaks? If your setup is so healthy and low
stress for the birds then de-beaking is not necessary and reduces their
natural foraging ability. Is your feed free of herbicides and pesticides?
You seem more like a CAFO with a few side ventures that grows its own
feed.

I hope their lives are happier than industrial-raised chicken,but I do
wonder about whether they are stuffed willy-nilly into crates before a
horrifying transport to an even more horrifying death while dangling on a
processing line. Just wondering.

I need to quit watching these farm clips on you tube. I get upset with
peoples commits both in the clips and responses. The lady in the clip said
they raised Berkshires. Even showed the boar they used to breed. Yet when
they show the feeder pigs in the pens they are not Berkshires. What is
wrong in saying They raise Berkshire crosses?For the commit on free range
chickens. You need to lock them up at night. They roost at night no need to
leave them out at night predators will kill them. Seed sales men are
pushing gmo corn and beans but yes you can still find non gmo seed corn. It
will cost you more.

sorry but gotta call BS. non gmo corn? and those chickens at 1.25 are free
range ehhh. well guess i am stuck waaayyyyyyy back in time cause just
finding non gmo corn now is hard and those Cornish cross are the same breed
raised in factory farms. its a cross that grows ridiculously fast. so fast
that if over feed will out grow their legs. causing them to be crippled.
like the farm wish it was mine but honestly it is a money thing. it all is
now. you cannot make enough unless you do this to make it. used to be able
too but not anymore. hello inflation and hello people that work for hourly
wage rather than owning there own
