#992300 Eggs for sale

Posted by fatguyaz on 05 January 2011 - 02:35 PM

i would be in for this. they are 5 at the farmer's market.

i currently buy my eggs from hickman's which is an az farm but i dont know how they treat their hens and it's in buckeye, so if i bought them in phx it would be less of a carbon footprint and i know that fatguyaz loves his chicks.....and i've been to your house so i know they are not sitting in cages all day.

yeah i'm in. i have a regular carton too


chad's eggs > hickmans

although, as factory eggs go, hickmans is pretty good. i don't think they taste any different, but they seem to be about as humane as a factory farm can get. there was a big article in phoenix magazine a month or two ago profiling several local growers/farms, and hickmans was one of them.


well that's good to know. i know they dont use hormones or antibiotics, but their cartons never say "cage free" or anything....so i always wondered.

Chad - i try to eat 2 eggs for breakfast every day during the week. i do most days, but not all. so i would say i go through 1/2 a dozen in a week, sometimes more.


they're caged at hickman's. i don't remember all the details about how much space they're crammed into - it seems small, but they're chickens, so i don't know what they consider acceptable. anyway, their explanation about why they're NOT cage free (which seems reasonable) is that once you get above a certain number of chickens the "herd" gets too big and there are too many alphas and it turns into a constant chicken war. broken bones and chickens pecking their eyes out, that sort of thing. oh, and there's no way to effectively manage the shit, so there's so much ammonia in the air that it's toxic. and of course they just lay eggs wherever they want, so the chances of salmonella go up. so if they wanted to produce as many eggs as they do, they'd need an unreasonable amount of space to keep all the herds small and manageable. granted, this is coming from a company that has a vested interest in you buying into their philosophy, so take it with a grain of salt. but their point was something along the lines of "cage free is great if you know it's from a small farm" and not great if it's from a large farm, because they probably can't effectively control diseases/chicken care/feces at that scale.


I'd buy that. What the animal rights ppl are bitching about is that the cages are too small. They usually keep 3 chickens per cage and none of them can stand or turn around. Pretty shitty condition, but it's true: If you had 10,000 chickens in one yard, it would be mayhem. It's hard enough rangling the 17 i have now. What the people like Hickmans are pissed about is if they have to get bigger cages or get more space, then eggs from Mexico and other countries that DON'T have the cage regulations will be cheaper and the rest is history. You guys should probably just buy them from me. I feed mine flax seeds for the extra Omega-3 goodness, too! :ph34r:

i especially like his Britney Spears-esque headset mic. You should have seen the choreography he had for his alternate presentation idea.

#970765 There's a rooster in my yard.

Posted by fatguyaz on 08 November 2010 - 10:45 AM

sounds like you've got yourself some fried chicken yo

put on a coat and gloves
catch that freedom lover
lay him gently over a flat, hard surface
put an ax to his neck quickly
defeather and clean
fry
eat
enjoy your freedoms

and tell your neighbor he must have flown away.......





to heaven


not having grown up on a farm, i don't have any idea how to defeather and clean a bird. it's a skill i've considered learning, but have never pursued. you know, on account of chicken being available defeathered and cleaned pretty much everywhere. i'm sure i'll regret this if i survive the apocalypse and i need to kill and dress chickens for food. well, assuming a bunch of chickens survive, too. oh, also, i don't have an axe. or a coat, for that matter. it's phoenix, jacki.



pussy


yeah, i guess.

i was too busy fucking bitches when i was younger to learn all that shit.


baller

im just joking with you

if you dont want to kill a chicken, you dont have to, no shame in that.

just go back over to your neighbor and be like 'I cant get it out, come over and get your fucking rooster yo'


But call it a COCK.
