I acquired chickens a month ago, was thrilled that I’d no longer need to buy eggs. Turns out, they don’t lay in the winter without artificial light, and I’m not about to police my women’s bodies for my own gain. Eggs are fucking expensive!
Weird post, dude. If you want eggs just give them a light bulb or whatever.
It shortens their life span. I got these chickens as pseudo pets with benefits, so it seemed shitty to do that. Just cos their brains are little, doesn’t mean we can harm them for our own gain.
Got me trying to figure out how to expand my flock of quail. Except they’re inside now with no more room, and outside puts them at risk. I’m about to get extra creative with the carpentry.
That sounds both adorable and an absolute mess.
Banning DEI didn’t help?
What about declaring everyone female?
Gulf of America?
Well shit.
Surely if we buy Greenland we get their eggs
I really need to start learning how to raise backyard chickens.
Anyone with two braincells to rub together should be able to work out it’s because of the bird flu. With Trump and RFK running things it’s not getting better any time soon either. Might as well start planning on using egg alternatives for a while.
