What about when they clip the beaks? Does that matter at all to you when they're chicken?

Most of 'em are gonna do that in those big ranches anyway. Because they don't feed 'em good protein now.
Amos Miller's ranch and all my Amish farmer's ranch. When I was in DC, I spent the at Amos's ranch, these chickens, they slaughter an animal and they take all of the remains out there, not the guts, they give that to the pigs and chickens, they'll take guts out there for the chickens. And they slop it out there for those chickens, those chickens never peck each other.
Because they get all the meat that they want. They're happy. They're like happy ducks. They will follow you, they're happy, they're nice. They're not frantic protein deficient, crazy creatures.

They feed them meat?

They feed em meat. They feed them raw meat. Meat scraps after butchering.

They're so tiny though. I mean when I buy the mat Rawsome, they're so tiny.
[Aajonus]
Well, just the one he slaughters. He likes his older ones for laying eggs.

There's no meat on it.
[Aajonus]
Well, there's little meat. Very little.
