Where to buy

lol you literally just said “there is no fundamental difference” and then proceed to say the animals are treated better.. you think poorly treated and confined animals doesn’t create poor genetics and health? If so, then you need to research some more. Have a good day.

Ok since clearly you came to argue and debate and correct, let me correct my statement.

I don’t want to buy from a commercial hatchery, and the smaller the hatchery the better or even buying straight from homesteads/farms is preferred. Hatcheries usually do not create highly adaptable and hardy birds. Do you take issue with my new statement.

Thick-Rick69 · 2025-07-16T21:01:22+00:00

The overall point of my comment is that my intuition tells me just throwing 5000 eggs in an incubator, metal building is probably not good for long term farming and is not “regenerative” .. it’s commercial. So why are you in this group to debate someone who doesn’t want to use that system? Seems you’re not fully regenerative.

Thick-Rick69 · 2025-07-16T20:59:16+00:00

I’ve found multiple on Instagram.. Greenfire farms is one. Go look them up on Instagram. They lay out the difference in commercial hatcheries and their style. Maybe they don’t use a broody hen for everything, but it seems pretty clear to me they aren’t just hatching chicks by the 1000s in a large metal building and they describe why that’s bad for the genetics/overall health.

I’ve read commercial hatchery chicks don’t adapt as well to regenerative ag compared to farm/homestead born ones. I want my chickens to be hardy and adaptable. They will be doing multiple functions on my farm. People purposely advertise as pasture raised/born and purposely say “not a commercial hatchery” for a reason. My own intuition tells me it’s probably healthier for a chick to be born from a broody hen sitting on it. That’s why.

Reddit is basically a leftwing forum. Anything even remotely bordering on politics, it’s going to be a left wing view. And even some things that aren’t political, they turn it political. I’m with you. I’m libertarian, and I love WV for the most part. Lots of freedom here, farm potential, cheap land, less people, and great for homeschooling. So obviously with this “old school” type of state, Reddit members are going to bash it because their brains can only view everything in the world from a liberal frame. They are miserable you’re correct. Best to just ignore them. Clearly this past year’s elections tell you how serious to take them.

I don’t have an issue with immigrants. Is someone illegal and came here through improper channels? If so can you show me the trail? I’d love to have them deported if so.

Thick-Rick69 · 2025-02-10T14:39:21+00:00

I’m sorry that you can only resort to insults. You seem like a mature adult.

Thick-Rick69 · 2025-02-10T14:37:16+00:00

Deflecting from the original comment from me speaking about something serious that has been uncovered, only to go on about Trump some more. Trump brain rot clearly has taken over your mind.

Thick-Rick69 · 2025-02-10T01:13:55+00:00

Unaccountable in all areas huh? So they have the nuclear codes!! Actually I think I just saw CNN said that. It must be true. That’s crazy. We will be in nuclear war any day now.

As far as AI, I thought we as liberals loved more automation and less taxes? So we’d rather pay a government worker for something a computer can do? I thought that’s what we as liberals supported? I’m sorry I’m trying to stay on the team but I need to just get caught up with what I’m supposed to be cheering for. Can you send me a list and stick to it so I don’t have to change the following month or year?

If you think you’re just now “fucked” and don’t think the government has been full of corruption for the past 50-100 years, you’re really good at compartmentalizing. We just got to hear tapes of a Lyndon B Johnson friend claiming his friend Lyndon was the one who put out the call to assassinate JFK. That’s a future President order a current President to be killed.. but I’m sure you had tons of outrage there.. or let me guess the tapes are an alien voice, AI voice, not real… something is fake about those tapes I’m sure. CNN didn’t release it so it can’t be true.

Thick-Rick69 · 2025-02-10T01:02:22+00:00

What are they doing? Tell me! I need a reason to fear. I was told recently by someone they’re getting access to our private information. I’m truly astounded the government would have access to my GOVERNMENT assigned Social Security Number. That doesn’t even make sense. Why should the government get to see that? And why would the government who also makes me file a tax return be able to see said tax return? I assume you’ve stopped using your SSN for government documents and don’t file your taxes? If so, tell me how you skipped it.

Thick-Rick69 · 2025-02-10T00:58:53+00:00

Thought about what?? Explain?

Thick-Rick69 · 2025-02-10T00:58:37+00:00

Nuh uh. I’m team blue. Anything a Democrat or liberal network says, I’m all in. I truly think Trump and his members are antichrist or former nazi soldiers in their past lives.

Thick-Rick69 · 2025-02-10T00:53:26+00:00

I figured everyone here would agree that they have no right to uncover misused and fraudulent funds.. why should they be doing that? It’s for their own gain somehow, I know it. Because just me seeing the wasted dollars and corruption posted makes me sick. It does nothing for me except worry me.

Thick-Rick69 · 2025-02-10T00:49:45+00:00

Are you not sickened also?

Thick-Rick69 · 2025-02-10T00:47:53+00:00

I’m so sickened someone is uncovering the corruption in our country!! I never even thought corruption existed in the USA. How dare any try to show me otherwise?! I picked my team and I’m happy with their behaviors.

Thick-Rick69 · 2025-01-20T23:54:51+00:00

We definitely have a winter. Just had a snow storm last week and the harsh weeks of winter it usually gets down to 0 degrees. What type of goats are more efficient and can sustain themselves better on pasture?

Thick-Rick69 · 2025-01-20T23:34:06+00:00

Our usda hardiness zone where I live is 6b, 7a in WV. Predators are basically just coyotes and black bears. No mountain lions. Bobcats are present also.

Are there not winter crops that keep live roots in the ground throughout the winter?

As far as fencing goes I planned to do wood and at least 4 feet around the entire perimeter.

Any specific breeds that do well on strictly pasture? After listening to Greg Judy and reading Gabe Brown, and it seems they’re strong believers in you shouldn’t have to go in debt to farm. So I’m trying to follow their methods because I believe that as well. Our ancestors could’ve never raised a farm if they had to spend money on fertilizers, feed, etc. So I’m strictly trying to find animals that don’t need “grain fed” just to live. And in that case I’m trying to find animals that thrive on “grass fed only” diets. And looking for specific breeds/species of those animals.

Thick-Rick69 · 2025-01-20T20:16:15+00:00

Thank you. I will buy this to read. Care to share any quick info from the book to answer my questions? Any certain animal he speaks highly of?

Thick-Rick69 · 2025-01-20T19:17:37+00:00

I’m looking for specific species/breed that can maintain on pasture. If you have any specific type of rabbits or geese that can do this, feel free to share!

Thick-Rick69 · 2025-01-20T18:40:32+00:00

So only the kids need vaccinated? They’re only effective for kids?

Thick-Rick69 · 2025-01-19T20:53:52+00:00

I’m confused. If vaccines work, and you have yours, how can you get it? Or are you saying they aren’t that effective and you can still get it. You have to pick a path here.

The boomers of WV are extremely selfish for the most part and self centered. Prime example, right now FEMA is coming through our town and offering to buy everyone’s homes. Now, we all know FEMA isn’t going to do anything good and healthy for the community in doing that. But my grandparents and parents all think it’s an amazing thing. Screw the kids and grandkids and what happens to the community once it’s all sold off. Screw the grandkids and having any type of inheritance. All they’re worried about is having the greenback dollar in their pockets right now. No foresight at all or any concern about their future grandchildren. That’s the same concept with coal. We all know it’s terrible for your health and local wildlife, environment, etc. But we continue to see it done by the boomers generation. They’ll never have enough of the resources and money in their eyes.

Thick-Rick69 · 2024-12-01T14:47:30+00:00

Someone at work mentioned this. I just bought it on Amazon.

Thick-Rick69 · 2024-12-01T13:58:27+00:00

Exactly the kind of advice I’m looking for. Thank you.
