My non-partisan hand across the political divide was rebuffed. I can see you only find one side capable of rage-bait. Opposing opinions must be very troubling for you.

I think I can afford the lifetime cost. Some of our hens are rescued battery hens as well so I'll take the financial hit for the good karma.

>>but then every 3 year you got to take the hatchet, grab each chicken, cut right on the neck and then hang it with it's feet while it's bleeding out and flapping its wings. We've had chickens - up to about 20 at times
