The hens look so happy 😁😁

[@piano345]

Wonderful - wish more companies would show compassion rather than making money at the expense of the animals.

[@Dzeroed]

THIS is what I thought free range meant! Not the horror videos I just watched where the hens had picked all their feathers off and looked like they would be suicidal if they had the means 😢

[@elizabethashburn9127]

Sheds hold 20,000 birds. Most of them don't make it outside. Notice how they don't show you inside the shed...the smell is horrendous, the noise deafening. Don't forget this is a promo video. It's going to look happy. These chickens live for 5 years max and then their bodies are spent from over production and they are sent to slaughterhouses to be killed, if they aren't dead already. This might look cutesy, but I doubt it's the whole picture.

[@mahmudadeniyi9876]

Great ideal!

nice job

Impressive. We hope to implement your model in Assam.

[@harmoneyreilly4225]

I just started buying free range products I used to before but it was a little bit more expensive but I have now fully went back to only Free range and my partner will only eat Free range I no it's costs a little bit more but all round it's the right choice to make for everyone

[@elizabethashburn9127]

Chickpeas are even cheaper 😍

[@mbkhanpoultryfarming8443]

wow nice amazing farming

[@abdullahiahmed7077]

Good idea

[@andrewburnett2581]

Chickens are not supposed to eat grass or corn, they eat bugs in the woods. And when do the chickens go back inside? How many hours do they spend outside the shed?

[@UsmanFaraz854]

Nice Video Sir. ❤❤❤

[@316Ambo]

When the chicken happy, we are also happy. Nice farm...

[@JustMisFitz]

Gabriel Ambo I wonder how happy they are when they’re over worked and sent for slaughter? I bet they dance all the way into the trucks.

[@JustMisFitz]

@FettTheRanter laying the eggs. It’s not natural, they’re gmo to lay more eggs than their bodies can take. Over worked, bodies no longer lay eggs after a few very short years if that, then when they’re all dried up if off to slaughter. Can’t feed a chicken unless she’s profiting the “nice farm”. Tc

[@JustMisFitz]

@FettTheRanter no not dominion but if you’d really like to know this link, is where I began. Then I went to see for myself. You’re eyes and your heart can’t deny their sorrow. I hope you can watch. Enjoy. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2bLeIR6gdWld5o ☺️🙏🏼

[@JustMisFitz]

@FettTheRanter I’ll stand behind that criminal everyday. Like him, I stand for the animals. May peace find you my friend.

[@JustMisFitz]

@FettTheRanter a criminal I stand behind. Down with speciesism. Love Gary Yourofski a man of empathy, compassion and respect for the animals. Don’t confuse animal liberation with humanitarianism. Ppl eat meat because they don’t know better or they do and they just want to die. No respect for the beautiful temple that houses us. Vegan, the righteous way to eat because remember “thou shall not kill”, “do unto others, as you want done to yourself” animals are OTHERS. Take the blinders off, you’ve been duped. You’re here to protect the animals not eat them. TG Gary has freed many and his works are good. Are yours? Rhetorical

[@MaggieLRSplusman65]

Perfect. That is how it should be.

[@TheCooperativeFood]

Thanks. 🙌 💙 ^Karen

[@youwot2430]

When the chickens are healthy and happy, I'm happy

[@TheCooperativeFood]

And they definitely look happy! 😍

[@tranlily3001]

Hope more farm like this!!! You did amazing job!!! We human eat them, kill them. Eat them as a food then at least THANKFUL them as the way treat them when they're living, give them some good life. And when we kill them, kill them FAST to avoid make them scare, stressful. Kill them fast, not torture them. It all the matter. IT ALL WE CAN DO FOR THEM AS THANKFUL THEM!!!

[@elizabethashburn9127]

It's a nice idea, but no matter the nice life they've had, they still get sent to the same slaughter houses and still killed in the most vile ways. There is no humane way to kill as many animals as we do and as fast as we do. 30million animals are killed every 10 minutes. Most of them in slaughterhouses, most of them by workers who are underpaid, stressed, upset at the job they're doing, many have criminal records or are working there illegally. Many slaughterhouse workers have PTSD from the job they do and end up leaving, taking their frustrations out on the animals, or some commit suicide. You try killing things and listening to screams all day and see if it doesn't affect you. So anyway. It's a cute video. But it doesn't show the truth of it.

Wow 32000 thats crazy awesome. I'm hoping to raise my flock from 75 to 500

[@elizabethashburn9127]

A natural flock is about 100-200 birds. Any more than that and they are unable to socialise properly. They peck each other, they have no discernable leader, no natural heirarchy and they turn on each other. A flock of thousands is socially and psychologically more like a mental asylum for these creatures, not a happy family.

What kind of breed for those chicks? Isa brown?

[@elizabethashburn9127]

@TheCooperativeFood Your commenter was implying that your video is a fantasy, a lie, an untruth. But you said it best... It's what you do. You put out a great promo video, but I'd like some actual information. Can I ask the company name of the farm and the slaughterhouse and the initial chick provider, to check the welfare standards before I decide whether or not to buy your product, please? As a consumer I'm sure I have a right to know the standards of my food ❤️

So what happens to your hens when they stop laying eggs? What happens to the male chicks are they sold for meat or ground up and used as an 'additive' in pet food? Your hens look happy but there's a lot that's not being told here.
