Because there isn't a globalized industrialized mass slaughter industry for bonobos, billions of chickens are murdered every year
Hello, fellow forkizens! Belated #introduction - I’m Dana, a geophysicist working on subsurface imaging of volcanic and mineral systems. I enjoy #knitting, #bouldering, and exploring parks in the #Denver area with my toddler. Some things I’ve started recently and hope to continue in the new year are #running and building up my community.
I’ll likely post about #chickens, #knitting, and maybe #geophysics if you all are into photos of scientific equipment in secluded natural areas?

I had to attend to the #chickens at lunchtime, to deal with their frozen water containers, and the #sheep couldn’t resist coming over to see if I had a second breakfast for them. I felt sorry for them being out in the #snow, as it was bitingly cold despite the sun, but they chose to leave the shed!

The Miyazaki prefectural government said Saturday that an outbreak of bird flu has been confirmed at a poultry farm in the city of Hyuga. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/11/22/japan/science-health/miyazaki-bird-flu-outbreak/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #sciencehealth #birdflu #animals #chickens #miyazaki
A California woman on trial for taking 4 #chickens from one of #PerdueFarms’ major #PoultryPlants has put animal treatment at #SlaughterHouses in the national spotlight as her defense argues she rescued the birds from #abuse.
Closing statements are scheduled for Tuesday in a case that could land Zoe Rosenberg, 23, in prison for >5 years. During the 7-week trial, her defense hasn’t focused on if she took the chickens…but rather the justification for doing so.

I went to top up the #sheep hay rack, to find that the #chickens had been busy there.

One of the things breaking my concentration today was what I thought was faint meowing from outside. It stopped whenever I turned off Floggy Molly to hear it better. But I finally tracked its origin!
It's not a cat. It's a chicken.
My neighbor's chicken is singing accompaniment to Flogging Molly.

How to unexpectedly acquire a chicken in 6 easy steps:
1) Go to a remote forest reserve in the hills where you've never seen a chicken before. Find a chicken waiting for you there.
2) Offer the chicken food. (I had an old, unopened muesli bar in my backpack that did the trick.)
3) Feed the chicken some of the food by the car.
4) Slowly open the car door, and put some of the food inside the car. Provide a step up into the car for the chicken. (If the chicken is suspicious of the backpack you first use as a step, swap that out for something the chicken recognises, like a nearby brick.)
5) Wait patiently for the chicken to hop up into the car.
6) Close the car door. Drive home with the chicken.
