To correct myself, it is actually an EU standard snoopcester Send a noteboard - 10/11/2009 11:56:38 AM
There is then an RSPCA one in the UK that farms can be certified as meeting which is half way between - the chickens get enough space to allow them to behave normally, assorted objects like platforms to stimulate their interest, the lighting must mimic a normal day and be turned right down for a minimum number of hours, etc.

i was not referring specifically to you. LadyLorraine - 09/11/2009 11:35:01 PM 521 Views
Fair enough, I didn't realise you were making unrelated comments for no clear reason snoopcester - 09/11/2009 11:42:59 PM 548 Views
it was related to what you were saying about standards LadyLorraine - 09/11/2009 11:44:27 PM 515 Views
No, it was not related to what I was saying about chicken raising standards snoopcester - 10/11/2009 10:55:18 AM 534 Views

You should use the quote box thingy on the far right of the Smiley Codes, it would make it easier Danu - 10/11/2009 01:01:02 AM 606 Views

I know what you're trying to say, and I believe you. Avendesora - 10/11/2009 02:54:09 AM 627 Views
most domesticated animals don't eat what they'd "naturally" eat LadyLorraine - 10/11/2009 01:10:36 PM 562 Views
true. But I think at this point we are getting away from commercially raised and more towards pets. Avendesora - 10/11/2009 02:29:01 PM 641 Views
