If you want to be able to prove you are NOT harvesting your chickens it’s simple.

If you want to be able to prove you are NOT harvesting your chickens it’s simple.
Band every bird at 1 to 2 month old; keep a ledger with every band number recorded with date hatched and all breeding information.
As chickens get older and die or you sell them write down who, what, when, where, why and how much. Don’t forget to pay your taxes on the sales.
If you are raided by law enforcement officers then account for every single bird on your yard to show that none have disappeared from the record books mysteriously. If a 12 year old brood cock dies = it’s expected and understandable he was 12 years old.
If 10 two year old cocks died this year while in the prime of their life and health that may indicate cockfighting.
If you sold 250 gamecocks to the Philippines no trouble = shipping documents from the US postal service a government agency that can vouch that you shipped the chickens overseas. Again don’t forget to pay your taxes.
Dogs get into your yard and kill 25 two year olds on tie cords no trouble a video or pictures of the carnage and where the dogs dug in will prove your case.
If you buy into the show fowl lie of that is passed around so readily, then you are giving away your legitimate and legal rights to your animal agriculture industry and the right to harvest your gamecocks by the only commercial method of harvest they have ever been harvested in for over 3000 years.
You have given away your Constitutional 5th amendment right to earn a living and make an income from the efforts of your own labor and the gains of your own industry created around the natural God given genetic traits of the gamefowl.
The equivalent is for a law to be passed against owning beef cattle for slaughter, it's obvious the cattlemen could sue and easily win because the law is Unconstitutional. But when the cattle rancher sues the government stating the law violates their ownership rights and does not include a compensation clause in accordance with the 5th amendment because it deprives him of his cattle without paying him for taking his property, it also is an unjust law and therefore violates the 14th amendment and it imposes unjust penalties therefore violates the 8th amendment and for these reasons it is therefore unconstitutional.
Would the Judges try to laughingly announce and play it off as “the cattle ranchers are uneducated and stupid and they can own their 2,000,000 beef cattle in Oklahoma for “show purposes” and that way the state does not owe the ranchers anything and the law should be considered legal”.
If not for the “show cattle lie” it can easily be seen and understood the law violates the cattlemen’s rights and would have to be declared unconstitutional. It violates Eminent domain laws, the 5th, 8th and 14th amendments to the US Constitution.
