Too bad you don't live next door to me & mine! We do not kill our chickens. We do not kill males. They die of old age or sometimes a hawk gets one. The eggs taste great. I'd give you eggs for free. - Carla.

Here are some interesting questions to ponder:

-- getting killed by a predator can cause more pain and suffering to a critter than slaughter.

-- if a chicken weren't bred for laying eggs or food, it would have never got to experience life in the first place.

-- if a chicken is killed, who suffers as a result, assuming a quick, painless death by slaughter? Do the other chickens mourn its loss?
