Here's a little sneak peek at the chicks we will have available for walk-ins, starting tomorrow, Saturday April 4th at 10:00am! (they are not ready to go home today!)

3 chick minimum applies, but chicken math is real (as we all know) so really that's not an issue. 😂
No pre-order required (although they do get priority). Just show up! Happy Easter, y'all!

Spreading crushed silicate rocks like basalt on fields could remove up to 1.1 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere each year while increasing crop yields.

Walking through a landfill millions of years from now and discovering billions of chicken bones, perfectly preserved as the ultimate testament to human civilization. Scientists suggest that these humble birds, far more numerous than humans, skyscrapers, or even plastic waste, could become one of the most significant fossils of the Anthropocene.

A 2018 study highlighted how modern industrial farming produces tens of billions of chickens every year, all raised for meat or eggs. Unlike humans, whose remains are dispersed and subject to decay, chickens are concentrated in massive numbers in farms, processing plants, and ultimately, landfills. This concentrated deposition makes their bones far more likely to survive fossilization over geologic time.

These chickens, selectively bred for rapid growth and meat yield, have bones that are thinner and more fragile than their wild ancestors, yet they exist in such staggering numbers that billions of skeletons could form dense fossil beds. Far from being just a curious footnote in history, these remains could signal the age of human influence to future paleontologists, marking changes in ecosystems, species distribution, and even diet.

The study calls this the “Chickenocene” a tongue-in-cheek term highlighting how humans have reshaped the planet’s biosphere, not just through cities or technology, but by breeding and distributing one species in unimaginable abundance. Scientists argue that when future geologists examine Earth’s sediment layers, these tiny birds may outlast monuments, skyscrapers, and plastics, providing a fossil record of humanity’s impact.

Strange fact: Despite their small size, chickens today outnumber humans nearly three to one, and in some landfills, chicken bones alone could dominate the stratigraphy, leaving an unmistakable mark of human civilization for millennia.
