Alicat is reading the book Omnivore's Dilemma and it kindled a desire for 'grass fed beef'. On the way home today I stopped at Whole Paycheck in search of happy cow meat and overheard the following conversation...
Customer: Those are the best chickens right?
Butcher: Well, they aren't fed antibiotics or hormones but they are indoor chickens. Those over there are Free Range, they're indoor/outdoor chickens.
Customer: Hmmmm....
Butcher: To tell the truth, given the choice between indoors or outdoors most chickens will choose indoors. Outdoors can be kind of scary, things can get you if you're a chicken.
Makes me wonder if those Free Range Chickens are really all that happy (can chickens be happy?).

Chickens can be happy, I think; I know they can be unhappy & when they are you better watch it.
They can also count. Seriously.
My dog counts too....she always knows when there are a few kibbles missing from her bowl.
And with a fuzzy face like that I'm sure she gets every last bit she missed!
chickens can play tic tac toe too
