Chicky Minaj

RIP Little Chicky.

Our sweet little girl passed away in August 2022 after undergoing major surgery to remove a large mass from her abdomen. Unfortunately, although she made it through surgery she never regained consciousness. This broke our hearts.

PLEASE READ ON SO CHICKY’S PASSING WAS NOT COMPLETELY IN VAIN:

Unfortunately, what happened to Chicky is not a rare occurrence due to our species selfish disregard for what we do to other sentient beings for our own pleasure and benefit.

Although chickens do naturally lay eggs, they typically produce around 15 per year. Due to the desire of humans to consume these eggs and the greed of companies to make as much money as possible we have mutated the hens’ natural reproductive cycle to encourage each hen to lay approximately 300 eggs per year, 285 more than is natural.

It doesn’t take a genius to realise that this massive increase in egg production results in many health issues for these tiny birds, such as cysts, infections, ovarian carcinomas, and other reproductive tumours, including where multiple eggs become lodged inside forming hard, masses like Chicky’s.

Also, as a result of the need for their little bodies to use massive quantities of calcium to produce egg shell, their bones often shatter from osteoporosis.

You do not need to consume eggs, you do not need to eat chicken, you do not need feathers in your doona, you do not need to continue contributing to the heinous and inhumane industry which is animal agriculture. STOP EATING AND USING ANIMAL PRODUCTS.

Chicky Minaj came to live at Cranky’s FARM in May 2022.

Chicky had previously lived with another hen who passed away due to a mystery illness. Chicky’s history before this is unknown.

When Chicky arrived she was underweight, had red raw skin and many missing feathers. She very quickly began to thrive and made firm friends with Chewy and they become inseparable.

Chicky Minaj has the most amazing personality. She is inquisitive, friendly, affectionate and funny. Chicky spends her days wandering around the yard, scratching, preening and doing all the necessary things chickens find entertaining.
