I used to feel that way until I saw first hand how food animals are raised and treated (we live near a bunch of chicken houses, 25,000 birds in one house crammed together, you can't breath because of the ammonia level). I feel like I'm doing my part to not support an industry that I'm strongly opposed to. That's also why I encourage DH to hunt and bring food to the table that way as well. Every little bit helps.[/quote]
Living "in town" I am not able to do this, but I applaud you. I know it must've been a really difficult job. But how great to be self-sufficient and, as you said, to give the chickens a humane life while they are here!
