How is chicken farming different for Small Flockers?

Small Flockers need to be humble. Small Flockers are far from perfect. However, I believe Small Flockers are guided by reasonable and effective principles. With these Principles, we need to practice them to perfection.
Unfortunately, it seems that the #ChickenMafia are not only arrogant, they have lousy, wrong-headed principles. Not only are the #ChickenMafia principles dysfunctional, there is significant cheating by some members of the #ChickenMafia which has documented examples

I trust that there are some members of Canada's #ChickenMafia who are at (or soon will be approaching) their breaking point, just like Ms Carole Morison in the
Food Inc. documentary. When the documentary was being made, she was a contracted chicken grower for Perdue Farms in the US; Perdue being one of the King Kong gorillas in the US #ChickenMafia. For speaking out, she lost her Perdue contract shortly after appearing in the documentary. The #ChickenMafia is rotting from the inside, as it is attacked from the outside. Where should they go to hide?
As more and more of the members of the #ChickenMafia become disgusted, change will occur.
In spite of this turmoil both inside and out, the #ChickenMafia try to perfect the implementation of their dysfunctional principles. The #ChickenMafia has lost their way.
That's why this Blog exists.
Hopefully, we can all learn and grow together in time.
The showdown for the #ChickenMafia is coming soon enough.
