I don’t know if it’s my lifelong city upbringing but the thought of killing any animal freaks me out. My mother’s father was a Rabbi and story has it that he killed and blessed chickens in a certain way so they were kosher. I heard that if you cut a chickens head off the chicken still runs around. I can’t even imagine. What is a humane way of killing a chicken? I am not putting anything you’ve done down, I swear. I just need to know. I love your Mr Moon. And Maurice. And you too. I went to Elizabeth’s reading today and we talked about how we love you. Oh what I’d give to meet you, Rebecca, and Angela. One day it will happen.

Sometimes we just have to choose the best of the difficult decisions. And someone who has trouble coming up with $18.00 is likely going to really enjoy a chicken dinner.

I can feel it in my heart, how much he appreciated your roosters and your greens. Sorry about the Roo's but yes, it is difficult for a normall peaceful flock to live in constant terror. After my last roo, I decided I would never go through that again, nor subject my hens to it. I hope Lucy heals and recovers well.

I don't disrespect that, I couldn't do it either, but there's a bravery to being able that I admire. Mr Moon is generally great, obviously, not just because he can kill a chicken. <br /><br />And your neighbour sounds quite wonderful. <br /><br />As to dispatching the roosters... well, beats getting thrown in a grinder at a day old. They had very, very nice lives. Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08988685736635515808noreply@blogger.com
