Are Straight Run Chickens layers or butcher chickens?

They can be either. "Straight run" just means the birds are not sexed prior to shipping. You take your chances as to whether the birds are hens or cockerels.

Theyare slightly cheaper to buy this way and most small farms use the hens for layers and the young cockerels for meat once they are identified.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
