Oh it IS.

It is one of the biggest economic sources out there. Major food companies (McDonald's, Burger King, etc...) make a handsome profit off of chicken. I don't know where you got the idea that free range chicken farming isn't economically viable, but just take this from someone who lives in the poultry capital of the WORLD. It is, and probably aways will be, one of the most profitable markets out there.

Can a chicken mate with a duck?

No. That's not possible because chicken and duck are two different races (biological meaning). This is the same thing for a human and a monkey ! There are many reports of these crossing but most are not recent. They come from the late 1800's and early 1900's. Many times these birds will be friends and appear to mate but there has been no DNA work to prove it one way or the other.


Why do you have to do candeling with chickens to hatch?

Candling means to hold the egg up to a light and see if there is a chicken in the egg and what stage the chicken is in its growing process. It isn't essential for the chicken to hatch, you can just do it if you want to make sure there is a chicken in the egg.


Why are people killing battery chickens?

People kill battery hens for mainly one reason - their egg production has slowed (usually after one year) and they are considered as 'spent hens'. They are killed to get rid of them, so they can buy newer ones to go through the same inhumane practices. Please support chicken abuse and cruelty at: www.freewebs.com/earlymorningchickens - my site and www.kentuckyfriedcruelty.com Thanks.


Can chickens be mated with pheasants?

Yes, chickens can be mated with pheasants. Chickens and pheasants have 78 pairs of chromosomes. That is the first thing to considered, because the chromosome number has to match up to produce a viable, fertile hybrid. The second thing is whether or not the genes are close enough matches to produce a viable hybrid. And besides the genetics problems, there is the physical structural differences between the different types of birds.Domestic chickens have been produced fertile offspring with the following:Silver Pheasants,Red Junglefowl,Green Junglefowl,peafowl,chachalacas,Capercaillie,Grouse,Quail,curassows,guansguineafowlRing-neck PheasantChickens do not produce viable offspring when mated with turkeys. Turkeys have 80 chromosomal pairs versus the chicken's 78.

Is the production of CO2 from limestone is economically viable?

The production of CO2 from limestone, known as calcination, is not a direct way to produce CO2 as it releases it as a byproduct. Economically, this process can be viable in industries that can capture and utilize the released CO2, such as in the production of cement or in carbon capture and storage technologies.

Not really at this time. Solar energy would be viable once fossil fuel energy source become possibly double (the cost) of what they are today.
