Just spotted at the local Coles. Down from $13
Looks like not even the hardcore vegans from tumblr were buying free range chooks when they were $13 a pop compared to $8 for regular cruelty chickens.
Maybe more people will start buying them again now that the price has been adjusted to reflect the price of the regular alternative.
I bought one and and now that my conscience is clear I can save money and buy normal chickens again.
I am not vegan but I don't think it would be an unfair assumption that a vegan might be m ore likely to purchase this chicken if it is at a chaeper price
Bro, vegans don't eat animal products of any kind, not even dairy.
vegans don't eat animal products of any kind
that's what they want you to think…
@jv: what I wanna know is how he expects a vegan to buy it after he's already bought it..? not many people vegan or otherwise who'd be up for a second-hand chicken
Chicken isn't vegan??
I think you did a better job as minister for women than you are now as minister for vegans.
I read that as almost the same thing (typo in my brain!)
Five dollars for buying an indulgence from the rspca - the birds having their throats slit thank you.
The girl at the deli assured me that the birds in their store died peacefully…
My understanding is they're electrocuted (head clamp), and then bled via a neck wound.
Not the best way to die, but far from the worst.
How very humane.
You want us to have a conversation with them first? Rub their feet?
Lilydale chicken is very tasty worth the extra cost
Positive for good price, "hardcore vegans from tumblr", "regular cruelty chickens" and a better PM than Malcolm the fraud!
Lilydale Free Range Roast Chicken $10 @ Coles (was $13)
According to the sign at the front door of our store, this is now the normal price for these…
Yes
I this the former prime minister Tony Abbot?
And for Kevin Rudd-Rooster
certain resemblance to foghorn leghorn that's true
Cluck me these are some eggcelent puns
Not sure if poster is just mocking our former PM's ignorance, or matching it, but regular chickens are not "cruelty chickens".
Battery hens are for eggs, not meat. There is no practical difference between free-range meat chicks and regular ones. The label has no meaning in Australia.
You are incorrect.
The difference is Lilydale adhere to these Freerange standards for Chicken Meat:

These are the rspca approved chicken meat standards

Unfortunately, chickens can't read, and the barns for both look the same. "access" to outdoors is often a bit theoretical.
My point though is that talk of chicken cruelty makes people think of cages.
A lot of people wrongly believe that regular roast chickens come from caged birds.

No, your point was "there is no practical difference between free-range and regular" as you write above.
My reply was that is incorrect and the choice article you reference validates my assertion.
FTA: "That's why it's important to choose certified free-range products"
As you'll discover, the whole "free range" marketing thing works a treat on their target market ("I'll pay more just to feel better, reality be damned!"), and the "organic" sellers don't care if you see through it. It's like Apple marketing, if you don't drink the koolaide, they don't care what you think.
Absolute rubbish.
how many Kilos for $10
Hey, show some respect.
There'll be no fat-shaming here.
Are they seasoned? I didn't buy one because it looked like there was no seasoning on these Free range ones
Not as seasoned as the regular cruelty cooks. Didn't have the stuffing. Prefer cruel chooks as they have a bit more flavour but this might be healthier.
But are you vegan is the question..
..cos if you are they must be mighty tasty chooks
