RE: Oh Good! More Hatched! - Baby Chick Update

in #homesteading7 years ago

Great update - though I always love ANYTHING featuring chicks. I know that people say not to intervene and let nature take it's course but if a chick is showing spunk, I help it. I have two of my favourite chickens that way. And, of course, I justify it by the fact that shoving a load of eggs into a human-made incubator isn't exactly natural either so I'll help if necessary. ;)

Yeah! It was that or let them starve and dehydrate to death in their eggs. It comes to a personal point of what one thinks is more humane. I helped them in preparation of knowing they might have to be immediately culled. Seemed more humane to me! Haha
