Transporting Chickens for Market Questions

[no kudzu]

can you imagine your resume with Chicken Butt Pluger on it

or how about
In charge of designing and implementing anti fecal contamination program for poultry processor

well our family had a great time with this but I'm afraid one member is still mad at us for laughing until we cried.

I've always approached it as a work of passion and not a job.

did you get paid per butt or by the hour?

Well one problem would be that you'd have to glue the danged things in. Further, stopping up chickens would lead pretty quick to internal infections and all sorts of other internal problems, since the 'nature of a chicken is to poop every ten minutes when they have access to feed. If one wants to transport chickens and minimise poop, simply stop feeding them a few hours before ya gotta travel. We show Chickens, and that's what we do.

As for Chicken diapers, they do exist, but I find them kinda silly, completely unnecessary, and actually counterproductive. Putting something on that holds poop against the birds butt . . .well . . . I think those are for the same sort of folks who dress their cats in designer suits and leave all their money to the cat when they die. I'm only leaving half my fortune to the chickens, I'm not an idiot. :^)

I knew it wouldn't be healthy for the chickens to be all plugged up

But it brings another question. "they" plug up people before they die. Do they do the same thing for chickens, beef etc? I know it would be time consuming but what about meat contamination? Probably not the best forum to ask this question but don't know where else to ask.

You could probably find a beef, poultry or pork slaughter house and arrange a tour.

[Woodcutterron]

I don't know about all slaughterhouses, but most don't. It's simply easier and more cost efficient to withhold food and water just long enough to minimise fecal waste.

The reality is that slaughter and processing is a pretty nasty gig to watch, which is why silly groups like PETA tend to show just the worst parts, for "gross out shock effect".

Those of us who actually kill stuff we eat on occasion and process it ourselves realize that it's generally much adieu about nothing. Kill it, wash my hands, grill it. The ability of soap for my hands and heat from a nice bed of charcoal to kill microscopic critters in the meat is a good thing!

And vegans don't get off the hook, they're carnivores too, whether they like it or not. The number of bug parts and even rat hair that is allowed in "all products grain-related" is kinda gross! Danged tree-huggin bug eaters!

How'd you'd like to explain the cracked windshield to the adjustor? I was following this chicken truck and one of them butt plugs just hit the windshield square on - whattya think he's gonna do, after he picks himself off the ground laughing at you!!!!
