Penguins are wild and have to fight to survive, living in some of the harshest environments; while most chickens are domesticated, living free-range in a more somewhat comfortable existence.

The BBC often anthropomorphises animals. Planet Earth II would not show penguins dying due to them being seen as 'little men dressed in dinner jackets'; they thought it would be too distressing for viewers to witness.

One month ago, the Norwegian fishing ministry shot #FreyatheWalrus dead, leading to media coverage saying she was “euthanized.”
Today, we look at four euphemistic terms used by industries that profit from #animal death and at outlets repeating this lingo without scrutiny. 1/10

Outlets like @guardian, @euronews, @CNN and @NPR were among many that used the word “euthanized” to describe Freya’s death.
A rare exception, which did not repeat the language used by the #fishing ministry, was a piece by @jasondhorowitz at @nytimes. 2/10

Animal #euthanasia is supposed to be an act that reduces suffering, says veterinarian @iltaylorwriter.
Freya was neither ill nor suffering. She was shot because Norway’s #fishing ministry @fiskeridir declared relocation “not a viable option.” 3/10

Before the 1920s, #chickens were thought of as smart and industrious.
When chickens became the first factory-farmed animal in the world, #chicken representation in the media evolved to justify their treatment within farms. @LillieGardner reports. 3/13

Though few have had time interacting with them, there is a general society driven mentality that chickens are dumb, this makes things easier on us when they’re on our menu. But, it doesn’t take long to realize that #chickens are actually quite intelligent.

1. Delayed Gratification:
Chickens actually have the ability to have some degree of self control. In studies where they tested delayed gratification, chickens could learn to refuse food if they knew they’d get more later if they did.

2. Memory:
Humans can recognize thousands of different people. Studies have shown that chickens can recognize different individual chickens (at present, studies indicate more than 100). They can also recognize different humans.

Brooder and Chick Mortality
Thread.
Farmers, especially newbies, experience high chick mortality during brooding. This ranges from 1 to 100%!
Cases of farmers losing all chicks during brooding are many.
This can be avoided.

Brooding.
Raising up your chicks in controlled environment from day 1 to about 4 weeks is critical.
Brooders should have cylindrical walls. Use plywood as it can bend well without snapping.
Use a good source of heat such as brooder clay pots or jikos or heat lamps.

Use a good source of heat such as brooder clay pots or jikos or heat lamps.
Each source of heat should serve about 200 to 300 chicks and be placed at the centre of the brooder.
Don't use wood shavings for day old to 4 days. Spread newspapers or cartons on the floor. Have sufficient feeders/drinkers, at least 1 for every 20 chicks. Provide light at night

Mr. Hogan is the new @Trade_EU Commissioner and is making his first trip outside the EU as part of the @vonderleyen Commission. He is speaking with @CSISEurope's Heather Conley and Scholl Chair Bill Reinsch.
Mr Hogan was previously Irish Minister for Environment, Community and Local Government. At The Europe Desk, we recently interview @HcMEntee, Irish Minister for European Affairs, on Ireland's role in transatlantic relations after #Brexit: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bri… @GUGlobalIrish
