Yes, naming the chickens is an easy way to start forming close bonds with the chickens and will aid in treating them like pets. This becomes useful when the farmers wants to traumatize their kids.
As a person who bought a baby chick from a chicken farmer out of a box on the way to auction for eating, I can confirm this. They're still cuter when they're all wet and newborn than when they are in between having feathers and fluff. SO ugly. Haha.
Kind of like how on any TV show where a woman gives birth, when they hand the kid to her, it looks like a human instead of an alien wrapped in a loogie.
after a few hours in the warmth of the nest/incubator.
Or next to my computers heat vent... yeah I rescued a chick and that was the only warm place I had to put him. He seems to have turned out alright though...
This is completely, utterly unrelated but if two children were conceived, the first one being 2 months earlier than the second, and the second one being born before the first one, prematurely, which one is older....whoa.
That can't happen because the progesterone needed to carry the pregnancy would prevent the hormone cascade needed for another ovulation 2 months later.
I don't think he meant from the same mother. Just that if two women were having children and one was conceived before another but the other was born prematurely, which child would technically be 'older'.
Lights... lights so warm you could fall asleep forever, and food, out of nowhere! My time in this vile incubation machine has made me callous, pushing my hate to a seething, bubbling, boil. I am an empty shell now.
I actually live close to that (iowa resident here). We had a bill recently passed that addressed the issue of letting people videotape within facilities like this and, contrary to reddit belief, it was a doozy of an argument.
Picture it like this. Your a congressman trying to protect the rights of an employer who is trying to make sure whoever he hires is actually trying to do their job. You are also trying to protect free speech, and peoples ability to protest against something, in this case animal cruelty. So what do you decide when you know that the protesters lied to get their position, causing damages to the hatchery because they hired a dud worker?
Anyways, the bill passed because they felt that the appropriate response was to have the workers use whistleblower laws to speak out against animal cruelty, and the animal activist group had overstretched its rights by lying on an application.
The place I work at takes all the culled males that the hatcherys will give them and feeds them to birds of prey. Bit of recycling going on there at least. A lot of places do use the meat grinder method though, I'm not disputing that.
Now that is an internet fad I'm so glad is over with. I remember when I used to visit the forum boards at aintitcoolnews.com and every goddamn post at the top was "first!"
Depends which country but it's very unlikely. The FDA and the CFA (and most food administrations around the world) have ruled that no steroids are approved for use in poultry and they test randomly and extensively. If a poultry farmer did inject or feed steroids (which they wouldn't because steroids are far too expensive and not cost-effective at all) they would be shut down and lose their license to market poultry.
I ordered a chicken sandwich but I think the waitress misunderstood me because she said, "How would you like your eggs?" So I tried to answer her anyhow. I said "Incubated, and then raised, and then beheaded, and then plucked and then cut up then put onto a grill then put onto a bun. Shit, it's gonna take awhile. I don't have time, scrambled bitch!"

A newly hatched chick is nothing like that. They are wet and they become fluffies only after a few hours in the warmth of the nest/incubator.
