Questions for those who can answer them:

1.) What is the difference between “Milk” and “dairy herd” with regards to pollution and land use? Honest question.

2.) I’ve always wondered, but didn’t want to get flamed for asking: What if you have pet chickens? I don’t eat them, they live a great chicken life, but I end up with a ton of eggs that I give to people I know. Obviously those eggs are eaten. Does this count as some kind of horrible animal cruelty?

Just going to pitch in real quick. Growing your eggs on site is way better for the environment, since they don’t have to be shipped to your grocery store from miles away.

Your chickens, even if you are a pos that doesn’t take care of them at all, will still have a better life than in an egg laying factory.

I highly suggest it. I had some for a while. It’s surprising how many eggs you end up with as well, you don’t need that many and it’s easy to give them a nice life.
