The Navy's traditions live on in the hearts of those who serve

New things I have learned

OK, this has little to do with the Navy and more to do with how I spend my days.  I was watching television tonight and I learned something very interesting and also came up with a question.   On a Perdue chicken commercial, I was educated to the fact that they feed their chickens only certified hormone free feed and that their chicken are cage free.  OK, that probably makes chickens happier, and happy chickens taste better.  And hormone free IS healthier for those of us who eat chicken.  But, if the chickens are cage free, who herds them?  I never heard of a chicken cowboy.  And what do they use to herd them?  Cats??

It's just a thought.

  1. They herd themselves.

    I visited one of these farms down in Alabama several years ago. They live in a large field, with several small sheds (about the size of a large garden shed) that have rows of 2x4's inside where they roost at night.

    As we approached, it looked like a large empty pasture. Then, as we pulled into the field, thousands of little heads popped up and these chickens all started running toward us. Pickup = dinner time for chickens, apparently. It was kind of scary for a minute, actually.
