I get my chickens from local farmers. They live a good life.

The natural life span of a chicken is ten years or more. Your chickens don't have a good life, they have at best a shitty childhood where they are not able to express their instinctive behaviours.

That you are able to lie to yourself despite so much evidence being available to you speaks to the power of carnism, denial, and self delusion.
