A Month of Chicks

How freaking ADORABLE is that face! 

Hello Peeps!

This post comes with a warning!!! Well actually 2.

Moms For Real Food Initiative will not be held responsible for the sudden upswing in chicken ownership throughout Alberta! 

Also SUPER CUTE FLUFFY CHICK PHOTOS ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!

So the cheeps are growing. FAST! A month ago we picked up the sweet fuzzy little buggers now they look like mini chickens. 

This was our brooder set up. Parts of an old pig feeder. Worked amazing!

We ordered 200 chicks. On arrival date there was a miscount (whoops) so we had 197. Which is still a lot! With transport we lost 5 chicks. It's a sad part of having chickens sometimes they die. So we had a little funeral. They all settled in quite fast which was amazing. all snug and sleeping in the brooders. 

Factory Farmer Exposes Industry

Factory Farmer of 22 Years Exposes the Truthful Horrors of the Industry.

When CompassionUSA got the call from Craig Watts, they were shocked. 

Not only is the factory farm normally restricted and off limits to the public, but certainly a no-go for farm animal rights advocates, like CompassionUSA.

You may wonder why he made that call,  since factory farms such as Perdue claim complete transparency in their practices. 

This video, produced by CompassionUSA and narrated by a Perdue contract factory farmer, Craig Watts show precisely why.

It also shows why groups like Moms For Real Food Initiative promote and educate consumers to seek out and buy from small, local and sustainable farms - going to them, seeing the animals KNOWING where their food comes from.

If we all start doing this, it will stop the horrid conditions seen in this video.
