Poor little chickens.
Yes I eat chicken, only organic, and pasture-raised eggs. Chickens die, yes, but at least they had reasonably haopy healthy lives. Eggs from local farm so I know birds get good care. in their mobile chicken houses. Not fed chicken “feed”, but worms and lizards and all the protein-riich foods they love found right in the grass.. Someone said he even saw his chicken eat a frog :}.
Trader Joe has pasture=raised eggs year-round and those nice organic thighs,
Yes, my chickens eat frogs................
You and your chickens rock :}
Now lets see the commercial application ... this century.
DOG hair is primarily composed of keratin.
We could power a medium-sized city with a couple of golden retrievers in shedding season (it's always shedding season for goldens, btw).
They’ll eat mice, if they can catch them.
I keep laying hens. Barred Rock and Buff Orpington.
But, I DO have a nice collection of ‘found feathers’ that I’ve collected through the years. Just everyday birds - nothing that’s protected, Officer! ;)
They can install poultry pluckers under the wind turbines so they can use all the eagle, hawk, and migratory geese feathers, too. Win win.
If we ever start with meat birds - and I'm pretty sure we will - I am getting myself one of these, for sure! Plucking a chicken is a major drag - especially for the chicken, LOL!
(JUST KIDDING! You pluck them when they're already dead, City Folk!)
Supposedly you'll have a totally naked chicken in FOURTEEN SECONDS! Yikes! But, a mangled, car-wreck of a chicken in FIFTEEN SECONDS? *SMIRK*
Great info. I like chickens better every day.
My cat? Don’t think she’s ever seen a mouse. She actually eats canned turkey in gravy for dinner every night at 5 when I have a glass of chardonnay, Happy hour at our house.
