@WashedOutGundamPilot “We feed our hens like shit, confined them to the coop & didn’t let them roam. Why are eggs few and far between or bad?” “Must be a conspiracy.”
IDK man, how often do you think you’d reproduce if I put you in an overcrowded box that stressed you out, fed you manufactured slop, and didn’t give you sufficient sunlight or exercise? Maybe the real conspiracy is that your education sucked, you’ve got no sense & don’t know how to feed chickens without going to the Hardware store, buying the cheapest-made feed possible (the one full of diseased flesh, but thank goodness mad cow didn’t happen lmao, or we’d have learnt this lesson)
Very suspicious of anyone claiming it’s a conspiracy when the truth is that it isn’t good quality and never fucking was. After the pandemic surges of hen ownership, and the egg price spike in the US, I will bet you it’s just people who’ve had them 2 or 3 years and have a delusional understanding of their competence and very little experience.
I also hate the “Feed” thing, man. I don’t even give my fish “Feed.” That stuff is produced as cheaply as possible because the prevailing attitude is “Who gives a shit, it’s just an animal eating it.” You’re just putting 1 extra step between you and the most pesticide and hormone clogged bullshit possible when you give that crap to an animal. At least buy real grains and feed them your own mix with proper supplementation like powdered seashells and a feed beet or clover.
Also, /pol/ could tell me my parents were a natal man & woman, and I’d be fucking suspicious it was some kind of prank.
