Since getting the chickens ive noticed i dont eat chicken anymore, very rarely nowadays.

I certainly couldnt eat "MY" chickens. I dont know how people can raise their own pigs, chickens, cows, and then eat them.

I mean lets face it, they are part of the family.

each to their own but my nan regularly necked one her chickens for sunday dinner ,but they were different times

Do they have names?

Barewolf · 14-05-2011, 16:37

That one in the picture is a speckledy, she lays speckled eggs as well.

There names are

Eeenie, Meenie, Miney, and Mo

That one in the pic is Mo. She was resting her eyes in the picture. She also is the smallest one I have.

I'll try find some other pictures of the others. The copperneck one is nice, has lots of colours in her feathers.

I'm getting a bit lost here.
I never considered livestock as pets

Keep them and eat them or what they produce, otherwise - what's the point?
Hands up - I never ate my goldfish, hamster, guinea pig or dog. I really wouldn't want to have to stretch a hens neck sharp enough to kill it but have had to smack a fish out of it's misery on a stone wall after a feckless son landed it by mistake. Other people can do that far better than me

To you it may be livestock, but you dont get to see them everyday and stroke them, feed them etc.

they each have their own personality just like our other animals, so to kill a chicken that i have raised is like killing a member of the family.

I wont even kill a spider so i wouldnt neck a chicken, unless it was me or the chicken situation, even then i dont think i could do it.

obviously i dont get sentimental over some walls sausages, but i guess if i had my own pigs, i would think different about eating sausages or bacon.

I think I may have offended you and that was never my intention.
I'm sure that if I ever kept pigs, etc, I could never happily see them off to slaughter.

im not offended, its probably just the way i worded it.

Nah - probably just me really. But I'm glad you weren't offended.
