Guest Post by Hardscrabble Farmer
Understand this; were it not for the US Government and the USDA, this situation would not be possible. They created the industrial food system, they deliberately targeted small family farms for destruction and every single outcome since that time was designed to happen by the experts.
1.8 million chickens on a single farm. In what kind of mad scientist fever dream could any scenario like this occur? That is not a farm, it is a factory. It would be like describing the crowd at the Super Bowl as a loving and committed relationship, only a thousand times more absurd.
Farming is a traditional means of managing land, livestock, perennial vegetation, annual crops and a single multi-generational family with the skills and experience necessary to preserve the health and well-being of everything in that system as nature intended. What the government subsidizes and exploits today no more resembles that than a gas pump at a service station does your own child. Nature is not a series of machine; it is an organic system that operates with or without us. It wasn’t created by man and it will endure without him. The arrogance of attempting to thwart it by turning it into some Frankenstein monster results only in catastrophic failure.
On out farm animals do not succumb to illness or disease because we look after their continuing health and fitness on a daily basis. We provide them with access to the things that Nature and God have supplied in abundance and protect them from predation and distress. These CAFO/industrial food systems created by the USDA and big business look at livestock and produce the same way an accountant looks at numbers in a ledger. They have no other purpose aside from control and profit. The manures are not seen as a means of fertility, but as waste. The flavor and texture of the end product is immaterial and they are the single most common source of food borne illness in the US. They require frequent medication, intense amounts of energy and vast distribution chains. They rely on the mitigation of bacteria rather than the maintenance of a healthy environment where such opportunistic pathogens are kept in check.
The reason we now rely on these systems is two-fold. First, it provides the authorities a near complete control on the populations that have become dependent upon them, thus making them incapable of resistance in the event of political instability, and the ignorance of the average consumer. That they offer chicken for $1 per pound does not mean that is the actual value. The consumer has no idea how deeply subsidized industrial agriculture has become and that the actual cost of production, feeding, slaughter, butchery, packaging, transportation, advertising, stocking and handling. They are being robbed by taxation to underwrite these corporate behemoths, stolen from in quality, poisoned by them with glyphosate laden feeds and tampered with by GMO’s.
That $1 per pound chicken actually costs the exact same amount as a $7 per pound pasture raised chicken only people are too stupid to fully grasp how our system operates. The advantage of purchasing it from a local farm is that you help to subsidize a family rather than a conglomerate. That family actually cares about the land and water they live on while the Industrial giant poisons the ground they lease from some desperate former family farm while extracting all of the wealth from the operation.
Yesterday our youngest son invited some of his friends over to help process the last of our meat birds. I gave them an explanation, a demonstration and then a practical application of everything I had learned over the years and kept a close eye on them while they worked. Four fifteen year old boys who had grown up the entire lives without the first understanding of where chicken wings and legs and breasts came from and what was involved to get them to that point.
I watched as they learned the names of the parts, came to understand the design of the bird and slaughtered, scalded, plucked, eviscerated, rinsed and dried the chickens one by one until they were ready to bag for the freezer or the oven. I gave each boy a chicken at the end for them to take home to their family to share and to explain what they had done on their sleepover, proud of the accomplishment that ended with a reward. The help that they provided didn’t come close to covering the value of the chicken I gave them in a pure economic sense, but I understand the profound impact that it had on their lives and their understanding of what goes into the meal that they sit down to enjoy.
I also know how completely unique the flavor of that chicken will be compared to everything else they have eaten before, the bleach soaked, indoor raised tendies fed a uniform soy based grain as opposed to free-ranging fowl that subsist on a diet of insects and grass seed under the full Sun.
The value of that cannot be fully understood for years. Every week I sell, trade or barter something from our farm to some family or friend that I am proud of and not only eat myself, but feed to my family. And every week I receive cards, letters of thanks and even screenshots of cooked meals featuring the things we raise and that those families prepare and serve, with words of praise. In a million years I could never have guessed that my life would have led me to this kind of satisfaction and appreciation, but I am deeply grateful to everyone along the way who helped me find my way to this spot in this moment of time.
I have tried over the years, not to influence others to take up a particular lifestyle, but to encourage them to follow whatever path they think would provide them with the best life possible, one built on family, faith, community and hard work. Whatever you are doing today, if it angles towards that end, I applaud your efforts and ask that you do whatever you can to share you talent, skills, capital and yes, encouragement of others seeking to make this world a better, not a cheaper place, to live and raise your family and to hold up one another while the rest of it falls apart, 1.8 million chickens at a time.
1.8M Chickens Slaughtered In Nebraska As Bird Flu Pecks Away At Food Supply
Another 1.8 million chickens were ordered to be culled in Nebraska after agriculture officials analyzed yet another bird flu outbreak on a farm.
The latest culling comes after 50 million birds have been slaughtered nationwide to try and contain the ongoing outbreak according to AP, so who knows if it’s actually true.
Fortunately the Nebraska Department of Agriculture (NDA) issued a report, which adds that this is the 13th farm in the state to suffer an outbreak this year. According to the report, 6.8 million birds have been killed in Nebraska – the second-most behind Iowa, which has killed 15.5 million.
After the affected flock is culled, the NDA will establish a 6.2-mile control zone around the affected premises.
Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) is a highly contagious virus which spreads easily among birds via nasal and eye secretions, along with manure, the NDA said in a statement. Symptoms include a lack of energy and appetite, decreased egg production or malformed eggs, and sudden death in birds even if they aren’t showing symptoms.
The disease can survive ‘for weeks’ in contaminated environments.
According to Yahoo, Turkey and chicken farms aren’t the only facilities affected by bird flu this year – as a petting zoo in Utah had an outbreak in recent days.

Quit choking our chicken (supply), Herr Schwab!
The bird flu was (((discovered))) so you could choke your own chicken!!!
And COVID was (((discovered))) to get you to submit to the VAX , Goyim!!!
Please plan accordingly…
Hey an intentionaly faulty PCR test for humans and another for poultry . Everyones got” it” right !?!!!!! I too ,call BS on this show .
Think Stucky can smell that picture?
I saw the picture and thought he posted this.
lol
We haven’t slaughtered any of our chickens, yet. Maybe next year.
Interesting that every time there’s a “bird flu” outbreak, we get told that backyard chickens are part of the problem, with the implicit threat that they’re going to come kill my tiny flock.
As the article makes clear, it’s a problem of industrial meat factories. Yet for some reason my 10 birds present a threat.
It’s not about the threat my birds present. It’s about something else. We all know what that something is.
And everyone could potentially get monkeypox too. LOL. All governments do is lie, steal, and murder.
Death-cultists and/or enablers one and all leftist/Democrat/RINO
It has a name: tyranny
Thank you for your insight, HSF! I have a friend in Troy, KS who “farms a little” meaning he grew up on a farm and has family with big field crop farms, but he has a couple acres that he raises animals and fruits and veggies on, in addition to his “real job”. About the hardest working man I know!
During COVID bs, my work hours were limited and I would go hang out with him. I learned how to make a chicken tractor and why, a little bit about beekeeping, and why you shouldn’t show up at a farm saying “what can I do to help?” Turns out that day was “chicken harvesting day. I helped the best I could, hardest part for me was finding and removing the lungs.
My friend generously offered me 2 chickens for my meager assistance, but I had just filled our small chest freezer and turned him down. “Another day when I have space.” I know that when I ask he will give them to me, but I don’t think I could take more than 1 for my efforts.
Funniest part of the day – as he would snag the chickens out of the pen, the chicken tractor we had built earlier in the year, with a long wire with a hook at the end to grab their foot – I swear the last one said “Nope!” (You have to imagine it as a chicken would sound). I told Ray that he really needed to spare that one, but nope.
And THAT’s why I bought another freezer.
You are so right about the flavour difference. Switched where I got my Turkeys and have never looked back. I usually get about 18 lbs, but when I get there they always ask if I wouldn’t mind something a little heavier or lighter. I say surprise me. Ended up with a 25 lb’er. Even the ground beef is amazing, the bacon is totally different. Gross sorry stores have nothing on small actual farms. Their “Country Store” is stocked full of homemade pickled jars, jams, fresh actual veggies etc. Plus your correct, supporting my local farming Hardscrabble hero is much better than supporting Cage Free Factories where some pencil pushing cost savings mind numbtard figured out if they removed the cages they could squeeze another 10 birds in and they still can’t move around.
We buy from the local small packer just a couple miles down the road. The owner raises his own beef and pork and I can tell it is still supplemented with factory feeds, but I can also tell they are only supplemented. The quality is far above the grocery store, even though the animals are not the best stock (by my estimation – I have experience with farm to fork), so I can imagine once we start growing our own it will be off the charts good.
I like that the bacon fat actually gets a bit gooey.
It should be pointed out that bird flu outbreaks are discovered and pimped through the use of the PCR “test”, which is not a test nor a legitimate means of diagnosing any illness, particularly a viral illness. Virology itself seems to be a total load of bullshit on top of the bogus “test” used to “detect” it. Bird flu is yet another hoax foisted off onto a gullible public to further a criminal agenda.
I agree with HSF that there is enormous value in family farms and homesteads and that food produced at home is vastly superior to unhealthy factory farmed food.
The “virus” and jabs aren’t killing enough so now it’s starvation on the menu.
This is the follow-on phase.
Me too , but I will say” economies of scale ” is either a thing or it isnt , for my money it definetely makes sense that all things being equal when you mass produce things you can sell them for cheaper . I’ll still take the local family produced stuff though for other obvious ( to us anyway ) reasons that revolve around the idea of self sustaining and connected small communities vs a wall street traded mofo that sucks all the substance out of our home communities.like a vampire and leaves us dependent on them and their centralized power centers Oh yeah , and in “The Demolition Man” all restaurants were Taco Bell “.
Kary Mullis, now deceased, invented the test and he was outraged as he knew the test could not be used to diagnose any infection. The test cannot distinguish between dead and live matter,
“Now deceased” as in “now conveniently deceased”. This brilliant Nobel Prize winner absolutely despised Fauci and mocked him mercilessly. It cost him his life as he “died” just before the scamdemic kickoff.
>>> food produced at home is vastly superior to unhealthy factory farmed food.
One of the pleasant surprises of second-world travel is the quality of the food… assuming you aren’t in a low-end local eatery.
After decades, I still remember a lunch my stepson and I had in Costa Rica: you could taste pork, chicken, corn and apple pie that put the usual American versions to shame. Basically everything is harvested within fifty miles of the restaurant, and you can really tell the difference.
Counterfeit food!!!!!
It’s criminal that they get away with calling factory food the same things as real, natural food. Bread is flour, water, salt. Factory ‘bread’ is half chemicals and fillers such as feathers and bugs which are actually cheaper than sawdust.
Even industrial ‘flour’, ‘water’, and ‘salt’ are NOT the same as their natural/organic and, traditionally-processed namesakes.
When I started pickling this year, I educated myself on salt. Who knew that there is so much to learn about such a simple ingredient? Pickling salt, kosher, table, fleur de sel, iodized etc. The pickles came out great when I chose the right salt.
Also, have been on a quest to bake the perfect bread. So far it’s ok but not great. I hope that the dutch oven will do the trick.
Define the perfect bread. My wifes been making bread since forever. Been thru all the types and a few extras. Some turned out so full of air you couldn’t cut it, the loaf would collapse if you picked it up. Then there were the wheel chocks and everything in between chocks and air loafs.
We settled on a 2/3rds whole grain sour dough. Super tasty, won’t eat anything else. Grands love it too, so theres that as well. Sits on the counter to rise, gets plopped into glass bread pans. Wife tosses them into the oven, turns on the light, little known secret dough don’t like dark, and when they’ve risen enough bakes the shyte outta them. Comes out nice’n domed, browned and super tasty.
The hardest lesson is learning that the changing humidity changes the amounts of flour/water to use.
As of right now, I would be happy with a non-brick-like consistency. Something that doesn’t require 3 days of prepping.
It doesn’t seem to rise well either.
Mind posting your recipe? Did you make own sourdough starter from scratch?
I will post more detail when she gets back in about an hour.
But the sour dough starter we got from a friend some time ago, so no not from scratch. But I understand you can start your own with a potato mash of sorts. Don’t quote me on that.
The bread takes maybe 3 – 4 hours and its mostly just sitting on the counter for a couple hours, then plopped into the pans and oven to final rise. Then baked. The light just adds a bit of heat to speed the rise a little faster.
She literally dumps the four and water into either the bread mixer or the counter top mixer, depending on what the end result is supposed to be or time available. Like I said the actual mixing is probably 15 minutes and the rest is sitting on the counter in a bowl covered with a tea towel.
The reason your bread might be bricks is necause of the humidity changes. To dry… bricks. To wet, to fluffy and gooey
I spent years trying to get my sourdough perfect. gave up in the end and arrived at something that makes bread I like. Not as light as it could be, but I like that.
I just mix my flour, water, salt and starter, sometimes add herbs for flavor, with a dough hook. Just wet enough that it sticks together enough to allow kneading. A few minutes kneading and stretching. Stick it in a cast iron bread pan. Put it on the kitchen counter and wait until it’s finished rising, 1-3 days depending on the time of year/temperature. Then bake it.
About 10 mins work for a loaf of bread.
And starter…I capture it myself. Sloppy flour/water mix, covered with a light cheesecloth or similar, outside a few days till it bubbles. Done.

Great search feature. Just enter sourdough. wikipedia of bread, many others. Good a place to start as any.
Get a digital scale. A decent thermometer. 90% of the battle.
The birds, deer, etc. will love Your ‘mistakes’.
If you want more detail then email me at [email protected]. It’d be easier on TBP’rs if my wife emails you back with her recipe and instructions. I’m really the official taster and not the crafter of bread stuffs.
Sometimes the yeast is bad. Having a nice warm spot for the rising is very essential.
I have wondered about the yeast. I think it is too old, so I bought fresh yeast for the next trial run. Also, maybe the tap water was too chlorinated? Will try bottled or Berkey-filtered next time.
I think I will try the regular once-risen kind first, and if that works out ok, I might venture into sourdough later.
To all of you, thanks a lot for your advice and help. To anon a moos, I might make the sourdough starter first and then see how far I get. Will be in touch if all I can come up with is bricks.
Keep the bulk of the yeast in the freezer. Keep a month’s requirement of yeast in the fridge. Perfect rise every time.

I had some sourdough failures and now I’m gun shy. I’ve been sitting on these instructions I came across some time ago. Getting the temperature needed for the starter to ferment can be a problem as I’ve read upper 70’s to low 80’s is about right. My house is never in that temperature range except for a few days a year when the temps are perfect outside to keep the windows open. Here are the instructions if you want to give it a try.
Try the top refrigerator for a warm place. We found it to be the perfect place for making whey from Real Milk, too.
Get a bread maker appliance. Use quality ingredients and you will have tasty bread in 3.5 hours with minimal work. Or use the dough cycle in the machine and finish by hand. Still awesome bread.
Store bread is super injected with niacin and vitamins which mess with your metabolism.
This is what I started with
Sourdough
(San Francisco)
And this recipe though I use regular good, flour and just mix with dough hook. The Dutch oven in use! I got one a few years ago for Christmas-love.
As usual the internet makes everything more difficult. I now just take the sourdough out of the fridge (about 1 cup). Double it per my ratio (1 c sd/1c water/2 c flour) and leave out overnight (covered with flour sack type towel, tight on top) Then do the rest the next day- using this recipe.
I take out approximately 1/4, 1/4, 1/2 c ( the ratio) mix & put back in fridge. I then just dump the rest in for this recipe (don’t even measure) but measure pretty carefully on the rest.
Good luck!
Thinking about doing this after Christmas https://sourdoughschoolhouse.com/
“As usual the internet makes everything more difficult.”
Speechless.
Wheel chocks Hahaaa
How long does it take to cut one third off of all those grains?
Funny! Reminds me of living in Chicago as a starving musician in the 80’s. I was obsessed with deep dish pizza-making and I was determined to make a whole-wheat crust pizza. I found out the hard way that pizza crusts made with 100% whole wheat turn out like patio tiles. Live and learn . . . .
I made hundreds of loaves of bread in my homesteader days. Sift it, and let it rise 3 times for whole wheat. Make sure to have a good warm place for the rising. We usually did sourdough.
Svarga, I bought a book called Tartine Bread, it is about sourdough. The basic recipe, photos, and recipes for using the bread and also day old bread. The French toast was awesome. Understanding how to make a good starter is helpful. I watch several different bread channels on youtube. My last 2 loaves were very good tasting and nice looking.
I requested that book from the local library system. Thanks for the suggestion!
Your welcome! I do use the water from the Berkey. Plain Morton’s salt. Understanding the correct amount of water for the flour I am using is my next part to experiment. Take 1/4 cup of flour, by weight on the digital scale, and add 60%, 70%, 80%, and 90% water in 4 little bowls. Let sit for an hour,(autolyse) and test how the flour acts, window pane effect, how the dough feels, smells. This will help me understand how the flour acts in my kitchen temperature and humidity. I feel strongly that adding yeast to sourdough means the bread is no longer sourdough, it is a sourdough-flavored yeasted bread.
Sour dough. You can find dehydrated starter, make your own refrigerated starter that will give you an endless supply of the yeast culture. Book: Nourishing Traditions. Outstanding knowledge to be found. My wife works up the dough per recipe, and has found that dough into loaf pans overnight will rise and bake quite perfectly the next day.
Indeed much of what used to be “common knowledge” has been lost to progress and it can take a lot of work to re-acquire. But here we are. Largely urban people. The reality of ‘just grow your own’ is becoming a bit like the bootstrappy ‘just learn to code’ thing that got tossed around when the last iteration of the great leap of Progress displaced the earning potential of many young would-be workers. Our entire system is incredibly complex – and incredibly fragile.
There are a great many tradeoffs at work and most people aren’t “stupid” for failing to keep up with the intricacies of all of them, be it agriculture, banking/finance, “technology”, “education” or “healthcare”. The process of disaggregation, decentralization, and self-reliance is long and hard. Most won’t take the first step. But a lot of us have taken a few of the hard first few.
Yet we can’t all be rural farmers either. And economics still matter. The entire system is constructed on those hidden, deferred, and subsidized costs; fiat and debt and consumerism and trappings of comfortable modernity are all nearly inextricably entwined.
By all means, learn about where your food comes from and whatnot. But ultimately, liberation is a state of mind, a spiritual anchoring, a question that starts with: what will you be willing to live without? Which is antithetical to the American Dream of having it all.
My wife’s home made bread with organic flours do not cause me the skin and gut issues that store bought breads do, but they do still cause the spare tire. I really like einkorn flour.
Grind your own wheat and use it right away-big flavor improvement. Easier to manipulate, too.
On our little farm we had all our kids involved as well when it came to processing birds. The only processed food any of our animals received was layer pellet for the layers and everything else was either forage from local farms, or cracked corn, barley, wheat mix that I bought by the ton.
Our cornish giants were slow grown so we lost very few to birds breaking legs or out growing their organs and having heart attacks. They were large but compact, heavy. Our neighbour at the time was from the city and I gave him a bird and couple dozen eggs as a welcome to the neighbourhood gift.
Yapped with him a few weeks later and asked about the chicken and eggs, were they ok.
His reply. To gamey.
The yolks were to orange, probably gone bad so they fed them to the dog. And the bird they said was to firm and a little to chewy on top of being to gamey tasting. They said they preferred the store bought mush and I didn’t argue them.
Appreciate the articles. There is absolutely no comparing family farm product over factory farmed rubbish. Seriously, there are probably more nutrients in the packaging than in a lot of the factory farmed crap being sold as ‘food’. To folk living semi-rural, find a local farmer and get to know them. You’ll be healthier and happier, and you won’t get shot coming down the drive when TSHTF.
Omg, “the yolks are too orange”. Smh. At least the dog was lucky. Cityfolk will find empty Mcbags and eat printed licence plates when shtf, ink nutrients for thought. lol
Pearls… ah, chickens before swine, but swine is too much of a compliment for some.
Yep…..gave a friend some precious home laid eggs but he didn’t eat them because….they were too yellow!…FFS
Never gave him another egg and wouldn’t give him a sniff of my shit either….a true useless eater.
Hardscrabble you are correct that the factory farm commercialized and industrialized to turn out tons of meat or vegetables at a price point per ton
has numerous drawbacks . The GMO and pesticides along with chemical fertilizers has countless health and quality concerns !
Regardless reality is without it we would have gangs (tribes) of dangerous hungry people and sooner not later your natural farm on GODS little green acre would be targeted and overrun and you I’m certain would put up a modest defense but to no avail !
$7 bucks a bound chickens and high end beef , pork and lamb are luxuries average people cannot afford and I’m certain you are aware of the economics of it all !
Best of luck and stay safe
I’m going to call BS on your assessment that without factory farming we’d see marauding gangs pillaging farms.
Whatever did the poor farmers do prior to the govt fucking up the family farming which SUSTAINED our nations long before some pencil necks decided they could get taxpayer handouts and control the food industry.
The only rampaging that will happen in a SHTF will be short lived and confined to within a short distance from the cities. And those that will pay will be the marauders when they venture further afield. If you really think that farmers wouldn’t band together when word gets out that an unfamiliar group of vehicles filled with guys is driving about. Then you are naïve about who these people are.
^^^Truth^^^
All up and down the road on which my small farm is located are other “small” farms and farmsteads (people working off- farm but living a farming lifestyle) and all facing the same threats.
Long LONG ago, my neighbors and I banded together for mutual support (actually, our fathers and grandfathers did this decades ago and handed it down). We don’t exactly have a true parallel economy going yet, but we share equipment and labor, we barter or trade in physical paper cash, and we also pray and socialize together. We all know each other. Hell, around here practically everyone rural is also related through blood and intermarriage. We’re also armed to the teeth. Except for me. I lost all of my firearms in a tragic fishing accident.
It ain’t perfect, but no way I can see marauders burning us out before we could stack their bodies up at the gates and feed the crows. This ain’t Rhodesia. Yet.
Moos : of course there will be battles won and lost in an apocalyptic series of events . Look at what happens when independence cards are 24 to 48 hours late being replenished. Look what happens when a life long criminal drugged out of his mind dies in police custody .
The pre WW2 family farm was the backbone of the American Food Supply and between that and our industrial capabilities we feed the nation and 6 million in the military.
The nation was under 200 million then now we are over 330 million and only about 80 million actually performing useful tasks the rest are on a hay ride that’s on the edge of a cliff
Accept the fact we producers are outnumbered by a lot
Last time I looked, maybe ten yrs or so ago, there is more than enough arable lands to feed the entire population of the world. Canukistan alone could easily feed every man woman and child, but not the transgendered ones, fuck’m.
The US, the same. Zimbabwe was the bread basket of Africa, every continent has large tracts of farmland that can easily feed their nations and export foods as well. The problem ISN’T that there are to many people. The problem is govt controls, parasite corporations that take over essentials and then change them to make people dependent on their anemic products. The problem is corruption in every form of govt and control boards. Its easier and more profitable for farmers to grow bird seed, canola oils, soy and corn rather than food stuffs and I’m not blaming the farmers either.
Those riots all take place in cities. Its the cities that will devolve into ruins in days, not the country sides. When these peaceful protesters come outside the cities looking to plunder they WILL be met head on and not by cowering suburbanites. If you are a farmer, best you make reacquaintances with neighbours and have a plan.
Maybe not so easy. Plenty of post-apocalyptic fiction written by men with military backgrounds who understand how it could go. You wouldn’t need to worry so much about a bunch of hood rats with sideways-held 9 mms as a bunch of guys in armored vehicles with machine guns and well-developed tactics…and families to feed.
And then there’s .gov.
The caveat to this scenario is that I’m thinking that the ex-military guys aren’t going to maraud the farmers. Once the farm is plundered where will the next one be?? It too will require sorties’ further afield and still always risking being dead. Plus these defenseless farmers just might have a method or two to cause great consternation with the marauders, military or otherwise.
Ask too, how many military guys are going to want to go out into the country, against their own folks, to rob and plunder their farms??? I think you’ll lose quite a few willing soldiers who might find it easier to work against the govt. Plus there are a lot of weaponry on all sides the military would have to deal with, and in todays military it would mess up the nail polish. I also think a lot of military expertise would be made available to the citizenry as well. Two sides to every coin.
I think military guys would soon figure out that protecting their food sources would be far more beneficial to them over just robbing the place. But we’ll never know until we get to that point, but my money is on the farmers winning the day. Its like being the cook in prison, nobody touches the cook.
but just my humble opinion.
“Whatever did the poor farmers do prior to the govt fucking up the family farming ”
Well, sometimes they paid the doc with various meats/Farm stuff for Making HOUSE Calls.
“Chicken for a stitchin” think the program was called. Previously? the Vet did double duty, but people started balking when granny had to be ‘put down’ because she broke her…which ultimately led to blue cross/shield…2nd most powerful union. After CONgress. Of Course.
“The only rampaging that will happen in a SHTF will be short lived and confined to within a short distance from the cities”.
The cities WILL receive ‘priority’ everything, make no mistake. At least until the final exodus. Most likely via Helicopter/Roof top. Hauntingly Familiar?
Unless…Got any suits that still fit? Some company would be nice, people look at me kinda funny when i start cacklin’ like kamala. When i’m walkin’ by myself. but i’ve gotten used to it.

Americans have been spoiled by artificially low food prices for decades. The convenience of cheap processed foods in the markets and cheap fast food available from the driver’s seat of a car have seduced us into eating a bunch of crap as well as feeding it to our children.
If money is not spent on salty snacks, sodas, frozen pizza, sweet junk and the like, a chicken costing $28 is accessible. Prepared at home with simple healthy side dishes the chicken is the foundation of a meal that promotes health instead of compromising it. A knowledgeable cook creates a second meal using any leftovers and can make a superb broth from the bones. This kind of resource management was routine in days of yore.
A delicious loaf of bread can be mixed up in about 5 minutes, left to rise for a day or two in the refrigerator, and baked when convenient. I can’t calculate the cost of the flour, yeast, salt, water, and energy for baking, but I am confident it is much lower than the loaves that go for $5 in the supermarket and $7 at the bakery, plus how to calculate the reward that comes from the aroma of baking bread and the exquisite joy of a warm slice slathered with butter?
We may not live on a picturesque farm in New Hampshire, but we can make choices that reflect the possibility of eating like we do.

No loopholes apply to tyrants and dictators.
There are, however, some loops that fit nicely around dictators and tyrants.
Yup, and they are not fruit-loops either, even though the term is somewhat accurate.
Loops for the fruit loops?
No, rope for the ‘fruit loops’.
I was speaking about rope loops.
might wanna recall..
Since I retired I tend a sizable garden, raised pigs, laying and meat birds and have never been more at peace and satisfied than I ever was during my career. I was struck by the brilliant yolks from the chickens which we let free range to the washed-out egg yolks from the store. The meat from the hogs was a nice surprise. It was much fattier and chewier than store-bought and much tastier. It reminded me of eating my grandfather’s pork as a young boy. That is the way it’s supposed to be, according to God’s plan. The store-bought stuff is loaded with poisons.
HSF did you hear the Rogan podcast where he talked to Will Harris, a regenerative farmer? It was most interesting.
“…It reminded me of eating my grandfather’s pork as a young boy…”
!!!
!!!
WTF does this mean?
Not funny.
No. It really isn’t.
But sometimes I just can’t help my depraved sense of humor!!!
Yep, White Oak Pasture Farm in Bluffton, Georgia. Here is pt 1 of a 6 pt video where Mr Harris and some folks tour the farm, fields etc. Very interesting. Basically they don’t waste anything.
Are you near White Oak Pastures; Bluffton, Ga.
I hope and believe things are starting to change. A close friend of mine row farms 200 acres. His parents came to the area as hippies in the early 70’s fleeing Filthadelphia. Like most hippies, they had never farmed before and thought it would be easy. After some very lean years they began to succeed and bought neighboring properties as they became available.
They didn’t row farm exclusively until recent. Initially there was more $ in it and less work than raising animals. As more became row farmers the input costs went up. He explained to me, when corn or beans are up so is the price of seed, fertilizer, and everything else. You really never get ahead and the farms that borrow $ will never thrive.
Expensive fertilizer has him thinking more holistic now. Soil is no longer just the thing you put seeds in. Rather, it’s also a living organism that needs nurtured so that the crop in it will thrive.
I believe modern factory farming comes from Nixon and the crashed dollar in the 70’s. Now we’re hooked and cheap protein and cheap fillers. In the past year two local small farms have begun direct meat sales of healthy pastured animals. We try to buy as much from them as our budget permits. But, when it is 2x or 3x the cost of frankenfood our diet begins to require more thought & planning, which is probably good.

Just about anyone with a yard can have a garden, raise a few chickens, and keep some bees. If nothing else it gives one an appreciation of good clean food.
“In the 1970s, government policy began to favor industrial farming,”
Ask ANY dairy farmer from that Era.
Got my first 4 chickens this summer, and have doubled the size of my garden beds for next spring. My bread and butter is still being an electrician, but being a very, very small scale farmer is far more satisfying and enjoyable. Hope to make it up to your farm sometime Hardscrabble. I’m only an hour or so away in Bedford. God bless and Merry Christmas.
Bedford, NH or MA?
New Hampshire. Need some electrical work done? 😊
How else is BlackRock supposed to run everything? Too many tiny knobs and dials make for poor control.
How about some Good News..
In Nova Scotia there is a back to the land renaissance of sorts going on. Right now quietly many under-utilized farms are being bought up by Mennonites. Which is now resulting in more options for purchasing food locally than existed even five years ago.
Buy local folks! Investing in families invested in local land and community can only throw a spanner in the works of the Globalist plan to oppress us all.
Yes, but… Nixon directed Earl Butts, Secretary of Agriculture to find a way to reduce food costs for Americans families. The average family was paying 25% of their disposable income on food at the time.
We got here by fixing it without looking at the plan, what is your plan?
That is a really nice story about having your son’s friends over to butcher chickens. I do the same. We do 25 meat chickens at a time and make it a family event where everyone helps out in the “line”. Those auto-pluckers are game changers but I still think they are too rough on the chickens.
Thank you for your story telling. We need more of it.
Mark… this is a wonderful essay full of some really important points I would like to share with the folks I interact with here on the Facebook. Unfortunately, TBP doesn’t post well on community pages on Facebook.
However, if I were to copy your essay and slap a couple of my father’s famous Southeast Missouri farm photos into it and feature it as a “guest” post from The Hardscrabble (or Hardscrambled) Farmer with a mention of The Burning Platform, no link, it just might fly.
It would be an interesting experiment anyway, and, if I did so… I would provide a link to it here.
This one is a big crowd pleaser.
Edit: We live in a time when we have to sneak the truth in.
I’m presently going through “Commentaries on the Laws of the Ancient Hebrews” – written by E. C. Wines in the mid-18 hundreds. His book shows how Moses in the Torah gave explicit instructions to the nation to maintain their family properties – there were periodic forgiveness of debts and the 50 year of Jubilee where all indebted properties were returned to their original families.
Gary North in his Victim’s Rights and other books explained the social theories promulgated by God in the Old Testament which no one practices any more – and we wonder why we have the super rich ruling over all of us…..and of course the disastrous consequences of our inattention to Godly wisdom.
And we wonder why we have seemingly regularly scheduled disasters of all types, often including wars and their resultant starvation, diseases and civic predations too countless to list.
And where are DaPulpits? Dispensing pabulum as usual!
Don’t get me started – just read my website and get to work!
Gov creates nothing. The creators of industrial food, etc, create govs to security fence their depredations. It is called color of law. Which is legality, “rules-based,” etc – not law.
This color revolution that just spins & spins & spins has no lawful, moral, ethical authority. But neither do those vinyl recordings they presume to rule.
So fear, of force, but even more of non-conformity, of not fidelity to the reproduction of the one tune, prostrates before the magi•strate.
Food is subsidized to forestall what comes after nobody says “let them eat cake” – so that the wholesale robbery called “inflation” can gouge out as much OPM, other peoples’ productivity/life, as possible.
If the only chickens “on the market” were priced at $28, along with everything else accurately price-discovered, too, the whole country would be in flames & the uses of nooses would become widely known again.
The crooks want your stuff, your life. But they don’t want to die for it. So symbology. States, nations, governments. Technicolor dreamcoat assertions of reality by the great & powerful Ozymandiases diasporing other peoples’ lives into their coffers. Willingly diaspoor’d people.
The problem is obvious. The solution is simple. But the easy species isn’t cut out for it. So this is it.
The timing/placing that made it seem like something else in auld lang syne whenever-when was just that, timing/placing.
“Cycles” vortex around spindles that fold & mutilate but that do not move, do not change, do not evolve, do not progress.
Humanimal is humanimal.
Rule-proving exceptions may ride the tiger, or stay out of its way, but they do not, cannot, change the tiger into something else.
Another Big Cat, but cue the best Doc Holiday ever goes to Africa to act out a rule-proving times/place exception (The Ghost & the Darkness).
Or good guy player Sam Elliott in the much more common bad guy form, here, “beef, it’s what’s for dinner”’ing to the usgov ww2 con, & getting “rich” thereby (go bigot – against the good – or go home):
What’s archaic phrase, something like, ” to harass our people, and eat out their substance.”?
Yes, that is one of the phrases. Meaning “separate” or “detach” … Pharisee Phraseology Artful Dodgers pockets far & wide.
Heroic turns of phrase endear the deer to seemingly-ostensibly (within back-lit illuminated word confines & contexts … here a con, there a con, everywhere a con-con, Old McDonald Had a Farm … until the tax farmers, etc came) empower leading light headlights & spotlights & rage-rage-against-the-dying-lights ~ our killing lights club that you ain’t in ~ of the lighthouse keepers living in, but mostly behind, whitehouse lights to freeze those dear deers in place for the venison pot kill shot.
How many central banks before the current (obli)iteration? Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da (did Old McCartney steal that phrase from Jimmy Scott-Emuakpor?)… Happy ever after in the “market place” … Que Sera Sera, bra … Life goes on …& unkillable anti-life does, too.
The leading lights were hot to light that cash trashfire from the gummy gimme-gimme get. And they kept bringing it back until it stuck.
I think the sticky-burn is sometimes called napalm, & all the Papa Doc (go U of Michigan!) Duval-iers love it, think it smells like morning’s victory over dark night, & have their Tonton Macoutes to keep their nostrils loaded & olfactory bulbs max rheostat lit.
Compare the spindle lit/erature all you want – it always comes out the same.
And if the napalm gets crypto-digitized, well, the replicants’ll be wearing welding goggles at night, too, the rendered’s will be unto Caesar like never before, & Icarus prolly won’t have long to high-fly, then.
Tonton Macoutes
Great reference.
Some reference. quick read.
Thanks, Farmer. An interesting-sounding synonym for snitch-tattle just-following-orders “stay safe” culture, eh?
I wiki link-clicked on Papa Doc’s #2, Luckner Cambronne. He was the son of a preacher man & a bank teller. Before.
“He was known as the “Vampire of the Caribbean” for his profiting from the sale of Haitian blood and cadavers to the West for medical uses. Critics accused his forces of picking people to murder to provide bodies for such shipments.[4]
Cambronne was co-owner of Hemo-Caribbean, a plasma center in Port-au-Prince that operated from 1971 to 1972 and had poor hygiene standards.[5] A 1972 New York Times story reported that Hemo-Caribbean exported 1,600 gallons of plasma to the United States a month.[5] Without appropriate preventive action, diseases can easily be transferred from one donor to another through the reuse of blood tubing.[5] The book The Origin of AIDS by Jacques Pépin argues that Hemo-Caribbean was a major “amplifier” of the HIV/AIDS crisis, which he says had likely crossed over from Africa to Haiti through a single carrier around 1966.[6]”
And he lived to age 76. In Miami (where he lived out his exile – from ’72 to ’06). Almost as old as Fauci & other umpire-vampires of the empire are.
I know how that’s possible, of course. But I still always think, “how the fuck is that possible?”
But Kary Mullis is dead.
Read the book, but started watching the docu version of How To Change Your Mind last night (Netflix). And there’s Mullis, 1st episode, talking about how psychedelics played into & contributed to paying out PCR. You prolly recall Mullis’s (among others, like Peter Duesberg) squelched call-out challenge to Fauci et al re “AIDs.”
Haiti is 1900 miles off the coast. Guantanamo is 536 miles from Key West.
One of the Skeleton Keys to the West is “offshoring.” And “rotten in denmark” is known by its “offgassing.”
Great song/singer Mary Isobel Catherine Bernadette O’Brien (a prominent name in 1984) – sounds ever so much less banal when set to her music:
yeah. but …. the best of all possible worlds is still yet another case of the ostensible lesser of two evils. It’s a heluva thing.
Truthfully or mytho-logically (your choice), the crete-in and old bull-master Minos sought to do some renderin’ of his own. With the winged Icarus flying too close to the heated truth, edgy stuff (I’d say), finally cooling his heels (pre-climate change days) by savoring the bonny brine. As he was no longer a member’s bird-of-a-feather club, he forthwith found(ed) Mar-a-Logos.
Alas, poor ol’ Daedalus Daddy-O still suffered the slings and arrows of Minos’ Roth. But who could blame Minos? I mean after all what kind of man would dare cover his wife with a common bovine cape just to attract a paramourminotaur? That some bull-feces right there, and is exactly what she found.
The parallel continues (since parallel lines never meet the other), Daddy-O smells a ‘Rat Fink’, but, time is late, too late. Daddy-O, the Crete creator of the ’round-about where you never come out’, took a bath. ‘L’eau de chaude’ I believe it was, a bath that provided au jus temps, just for par(boiled). I’ve long wondered if there had been Garlits-bread served with the prime rib?
Well rendered, wouldn’t you say?
Whatever will be, will be
The future’s not ours to see

Well lookee here!
(I knew a machinist. Did things in metal – which is truly amazing – kinda’ like some of the word-things I do … guess it’s all plastic if you know your way around it. Dunno how good a metal-smith you are, but you could be ambi, or even multi-dextrous.)
Good job! Well done! Which is rare – not par boiled!
Took the left-most parallel line on I25 south this morning. Between the paralegals stubborning perjury on the wrong side of the divide, & the bribe-salted briny puddles of snow-melt that wouldn’t cuz couldn’t sheet off that shit stretch of road, 85mph was a good stretch, for the short while those lasted, before the next paralegal slipped its surly bond & insisted no bond for me, all the while bondo’ing my windshield with lickspittle.
But when I got onto the toll road east to DIA, perfect conditions & 100-therapy most of the good long way.
Big Daddy Don Garlits saith toll roads is better than Roman tax roads, South & North, Mason & Dixon, all the other cardinals & fractions, too. And so do I.
“But the easy species isn’t cut out for it. So this is it.”
MANY of Us can barely read. Barely know anything, or can actually do anything. ESPECIALLY what we get paid to perform.
BUT…we work VERY HARD & DESERVE MORE.
Hear that. Also hear plenty about the doing nowadays is “knowledge work” & that it’s just too bad too sad for the old useless-eater hands-on types from days of yore. Saw that applied even to HR – knowledge work dominated by the female “power” bloc – somewhere in some recent read.
But literacy is overhyped. It enables, in the nasty psychological sense, people to think they know something, when they don’t, are something that they aren’t. Words alliterate wool … that stuff pulled over eyes. First it was printed on the backsides of all the woolen face-socks. Now it’s dancing pixels from nearly surgically attached hand-screens.
Best way to get more dope just may be to make dopes believe they are smart. Cue the scene where rifle savant Forest Gump gets high praise from the DI. Drill … Instructor … I can read! I’m a reader! (What About Bob? And ‘the Prussian’ school stuffing?)
Bruh, raising a pen of yardbirds ain’t even comparable to finishing out a flock of Chicken McNuggets or a herd of Beef Burritos. That take’s science and Deep Shekel bucks and neither them there don’t grow on no cornstalks.

I hope you had those kids parents sign a release in today’s society you might get sued for mental trauma .
We raised and slaughtered 50 Cornish cross last year. Had to buy a chest freezer it was so much meat. 5-6 pounds each clean. Near 250lbs in freezer separated into pieces!
The difference in taste/texture is exponential. Not a little better, multiple times better. I can’t even eat the industrial garbage anymore.
We have lost some egg layers to predators, but none to flock illness in over 3 years.
BTW, get a plucker if you plan to do this annually. We did, what a difference.
Curious Doc, you have an A35 or A36?
No, not the plucker.
We raise our own broilers do about 20 every quarter. We ran out of chicken because we had gifted some .The wife went to the grocery store and bought chicken took two bites and I said feed it to the dogs it was awful.
Nothing ruins everything else like eating REAL food.
Leaves me with a few questions?
If the factories where these chickens are raised are so isolated from the outside world, how do they get infected in the first place?
If an infected factory is quarantined after infection is found, how does it spread to another factory?
Who is doing the infection testing? Is it a blind test by a neutral 3rd party or is it the government doing the testing?
Where does the infection originate from and why has it not been stopped after so many years of destruction?
Has the Monsanto feed been tested as a possible source of the infections?
Support your local farmer. Support your local community. Stay safe and prepare accordingly.
The official narrative is that wild birds fly in and give it to the helpless poultry.
“how do they get infected in the first place?”
Raising your own chicken for meat is reaally worthwhile. It’s not easy. Wild meat is even better.
Diversification enables liberty and freedom.
Concentration enables tyranny
It is true whether it is the concentration of votes collected and counted by a “few”.
It is true when talking about food factories, which when destroyed by a “few” can cause millions to go without.
I agree wholeheartedly with HSF. But his truth is going to run smack dab headlong into this reality:
1) the world has 8 billion people.
2) if you are going to feed 8 billion people, soonish to be 10 billion, food will need to be produced on a mass scale. I am not sure what that mass scale is, exactly, but it will take mass production of some type. Where the fertiliser will come from is anyone’s guess. And without the artificial fertiliser, there will be famine.
3) ipso facto, there are far, far too many people.
The WEF says there are too many people. On this I agree with them. I am not advocating some means of artificially reducing the numbers, but sure as shit there are too damn many people on earth. That is a sunk cost at this point. I expect something be it man or nature made will impact the numbers sooner or later.
There are somewhere around 4 billion acres of arable land on earth. The estimate is that you need .44 acres of arable land to feed one person. 10 billion people times .44 acres = 4.4 billion acres = oh shit, we are in trouble. All available land will have to be in overdrive at all times.
There are just too many people. The US is in pretty good shape going forward re enough arable land, and Oz is about as good as it gets. But the demand world-wide will be huge.
I would love a situation where society turns to what HSF does. But with the population issues in front of us, I cannot see it happening widely.
Regenerative farming typically has higher yields per acre than chemical farming, not to mention that it builds soil health rather than depleting it. Localized production will feed more people than mass scale. There is easily enough arable land on the planet to feed a much higher population if a more intelligent less industrialized model of farming is followed. It will be less convenient, but other than convenience it is practical and doable.
The widgetization of food. When your head’s a hammer, your only tool’s a hammer, & nailing Model T production & Mo(nsanto)del Everything That Grows production are exactly the same thing.
You’re not wrong in general terms, but the problem is rooted in the expectation that 98% of the population is owed food production from the 2%. To me that’s the far more unreasonable proposition.
It was a huge mistake to alter the balance to that scale and to try and convince everyone that there is something inherently wrong with providing their own sustenance. Like parenting, there are some things we should accept responsibility for. To avoid it is unnatural and leads to much larger problems further down the road.
The only sensible, reasonable and rational choice is to return to the land in significant numbers. Not everyone can be a social media influencer or video gamer while an exceedingly small number keep them like guinea pigs in their enclosures.
Or not. Then when things like 50 million chickens becomes the entire species, there will be no surprise.
‘People’. More of a quality vs. quantity issue.
Start at the start – ain’t no correct solution when you start late & proceed to the right of that wrong (in the race, gun-jumping is automatic disqualification).
“If you are going to feed _____(fill in the blank, as Malthusians have been jotting & erasing & re-jotting ∞ for centuries) people” jumps the gun.
Its people that are the food. Of “the gods.”
You know what a CAFO is. But I’ll remind.
Its where the Galaxy Questing godians of the universe take free ranging doing-just-fine-all-on-our-own-thanks animals (yes, including humanimals), rounds them up, domesticates them, feeds them shit they never ate before, fattens them up, milks them, meats them, & hides them.
Now – “now” (yet again) – the godians say the herd is too big.
That’s it. That’s all.
But slight accurizing puts me @full agreement: too damn many cowards & dopes &subsidies of said on earth.
But that is also very much a side effect of domestication-pacification-inebriation. You got a better background than some, as I understand it, to see the light filtered thru that whiskey bottle last.
The only memory I have of the dreariness of the part of Gallup I drove thru, decades ago, is of the pacified natives, standing around hung over, drunk, drinking, anticipating drinking.
Genetic component/predisposition? yes. And to all the rest, as (un)well.
I was reminded again last night whilst watching How To Change Your Mind (Michael Pollan’s book/now docu too) that Bill W. came up with his 12-steps (that jump the gun & so fail to succeed) after some “psychedelic” tripping. The steps aren’t what got Bill off the sauce. It was lsd that did that, by revealing what was already there.
So I wonder if lsd & shrooms & whatever could lead to the revelation with the elevation, the high ground (pun intended – & the best defended ground, too) for all, or enough of, the dopes & cowards ~ courage & intelligence ~ and, it seems that might be exactly what the godians were afraid it might do.
So they changed the status of the stuff, decided to call it “class 1 controlled substance” & said it’s “illegal.” It was getting in the way of herd culling via cannon foddering during the Vietnam con. “Hell no, I ain’t going”: courage & intelligence of some, mimicked by others.
But then the psychedelic contributions to Silicon Valley, computers, come into the conversation. Steve Jobs, I think, would be down with all that lots been puttin’ down if he were still around. If the blackhats are doin’ acid, too, & the cube rats that cash their paychecks are all “micro-dosing” at work, maybe wider scale would tilt that table, maybe it wouldn’t.
It’s on Netflix if you want to watch.
I know that this is completely unrelated to thread here but last night I watched a rumble video linked to me in email from my brother. my impression then was it was not credible. Seems I am wrong again. Turns out that indeed there is a petition before the SCOTUS.. maybe something big is up..
https://americanmediaperiscope.com/the-supreme-court-petition-set-to-rock-america/
You’ll have to explain it because I was unable to decipher the legalese.
And if this is how they communicate problems that need to be addressed, it explains a lot.
I listened to a podcast last night and the nuts and bolts of all this legalese is that James Grundvig and his brother, have made a petition of redress of grievances to the SCOTUS. Their motion above was an attempt to bypass the 10th circuit because they felt that that court was compromised in some way. The fact that the motion was accepted by the SCOTUS and the Feds are not even going to bother to challenge it is interesting to say the least.
Listening to what this fellow had to say last night it all seemed quite pointless. I am not convinced of any of that.. FWIW…
And yeah the way lawyers communicate is problematic and yeah it would be much better if plain language was used. The arguments in that legal document to a simple man like me, are as clear as hand signals sent in a London fog.
The gist of the complaint is that the election 2020 did not follow the norms and procedures outlined in the constitution and therefore all results are invalid. They want Biden and Harris removed from office along with some 380 or so members of CONgress.
Martial Law apparently is in the cards.. if they get their wish.. it all seems ridiculous.
Last night listening to it I wasn’t believing one word of it. Then I wake up this morning and I am browsing thru The Liberty Daily website and I found that link. I read in the document the broad strokes of their petition has actually been accepted by the court, although not for good reasons.. in his opinion.
The fellow in video is convinced that the reason the Writ was accepted is because the SCOTUS needs the hammer of Mutually Assured Destruction to defend the court against the encroachments that they see that are coming from Executive (POTUS) and Legislative (Senate) branches.
A big nothingburger, maybe, but interesting all the same.
RiNS, I doubt Roberts will allow SCOTUS to touch this case, as it would give them too much power that is not in the Constitution and would further erode the public’s trust in the institution (if that is possible).
That is my take as well TN.
Still the fact that they, the SCOTUS, didn’t punt when the application was made is intriguing. In a weird way this all is related to the contents in this thread. James Grundvig and his brother are still clinging to the belief that some part or all of the overarching national institutions are going to save the day.
The Grundvigs, for some reason, think that the system still works. It doesn’t.
Very interesting.
I applaud and highly respect how you live and the wisdom you bring to these pages, HSF.
I am but a poor second-hand copy of your efforts, but we are doing what we can in Texas.
Our free range chicken consistently put out an egg a day per. Anyone need fresh eggs? We have plenty.
My in-laws layer feed and crumble fed penned birds put out about 6 a day for 20 chickens. But they won’t listen. Must be the V a X they got interfering with their thought process.
Anyway, carry on, good sir. Look forward to your next submission.

Stay aware and be prepared
Check out Gabe Brown. He’s on YouTube in a lot of places. This one is a good starter.
Right this moment, our 6 year old is sitting on the kitchen floor and sorting our seeds. He makes piles for each vegetable and has learned what they all are from the pictures. He says he wants to be a scientist-farmer. There is a lot more understanding of biology and science to farming than all of these accountant-farmers will ever understand.
Gabe Brown farms in North Dakota. Talk about ingenuity and tenacity.
Congress is drafting a new Farm Bill set for passage and enactment in 2023. Lots of info , if you wish to research the contents.
What lies, this isn’t any bird flu, this is bird poisoning
Great HF, thanks for brining awareness to this important issue going on with the food supply chain. “50 million birds have been slaughtered nationwide”, that’s unbelievable. What the hell is going on and who’s responsible for this disaster.
Chicken I see at the store looks like it came from chickens the size of Great Danes. They have to be pumping these guy’s full of steroids or something. Small farm raised chicken does get that big. What the hell are we eating?
