Perhaps the vets where Christina lives are more compassionate and
competent
than where you live?
I know mine would anesthetise for amputation but then mine are very
good
vets and manage to operate on birds successfully every day.




you must have some kind of chickens worth lots to be worth the $400 

surgery

bill that it would cost to do that. 

 my poultry mean more than money. Yes some are worth a lot. It seems however
that I have a vet who is competent and cheap as it wouldn't cost anything
like that.

toe amputed, the next thing that would be amputated is the head.
Chickens
are great in the pot, but i can't imagine spending that kind of money on
vet bills for a chicken.

Do you breed fancy show chickens? Or how do you justify advocating that
kind of expenditure?  (just curious)  I mean a chicken couldn't produce
enough eggs in a lifetime to pay it's surgery bill.


 Where there is the difference. You keep scrub chickens. I keep show quality
fowl who's eggs can sell for £10 each.

I don't believe in allowing them to suffer, but I won't spend that kind of
money to fix  them either.

If they cost more than $10 to fix, OFF WITH THEIR HEADS! 

 For low quality scrub fowl used only to churn out tasteless eggs I can see
your point.


Pardon me, but why be nasty? Anything valid you may ahve to share with the group is negated by your surly and butchy attitude. Your supercillious replies just alienate you from the group rahter than make any kind of good impression.
Why not make an effort at being a nice person?
