My younger brother had a pet chicken - the result of a class "science experiment." She was marvelously tame and a faithful producer of about one egg a day. My mother named her "baby." She was tame enough that you could pet her and pick her up. Much better than a cat, not quite as good as a dog. Sorry to hear about your snow. There were trace amounts on my car this morning and I wondered if you had had snow up the road. Last Sunday in Minneapolis, we had 20 inches - but everyone still went on about their business - including the services I was scheduled to preach at. Good to be home. See you soon!

Nice to meet you. By "city chicken model" I meant that there are ways to keep chickens in the city; most people assume that if they live in town they can't do it. But hens make really good pets! They are less noisy than some exotic birds. Most city ordinances allow for hens but not roosters though they are worded in so many ways that there is often confusion over that. While not everyone can move out to the country to "grow their own" there is MUCH the average town dweller can do to take a little more charge of their food supply and city chickens are one of them. Gated communities usually are the only true exception. Care needs to be taken to allow for visually-pleasing housing and adequate fencing; also there are still predators in town to watch out for. With gardening, most people are working with smaller sized yards rather than rural farm fields for gardening, but much can still be done. For more info, let me refer to my side bar. Click on the "urban homesteading" link and check out what Path to Freedom has accomplished on an urban lot that is 1/10th of acre!!! In short, city chicken keeping is different than country chicken keeping but both have great rewards! Hi Arnold! Nice to meet you.

Silly ideas about chickens having Mayors and sheriffs. Will it be a gated community or ghetto? Anyway now I have shown my ignorance let me know what you meant if you have time, with that big project on your weary hands. I have plans for chickens myself and try to garner information from wherever I can. I had a good laugh at the ‘city chicken model’ you mention. Silly ideas about chickens having Mayors and sheriffs.
