Chickens are silly and wonderful.

Hey man, we just want people to be more true to themselves
I used to have chickens in a city when it wasn’t legal. They got reported and we had to rehome them. They were fun, though, and having fresh eggs was always great.
Where’d they end up?
I don’t remember specifically, but we definitely gave them to a family we knew personally, and I’m sure they weren’t slaughtered or anything.
In the shredder
No roosters I guess
A rooster is a male chicken.
Yes, very good dear.
Thanks chickens
I moved into a house with roommates who had chickens. It wasn’t great. The chickens were cool, but they attract vermin. We had a real rat issue for a while, and they wouldn’t believe me that the rats were going after the chicken feed/poop, as well as the warmth of the coop. Then, they got tired of tending to the birds and rehomed them. Sure enough, the rat problem vanished.
Edit: I appreciate that everyone wants to give me chicken tips, but they birds weren’t ever mine, I didn’t ever want the birds, and we no longer have the birds, so the tips aren’t doing anything for me.
I have chickens, but no rats because I took precautions against rats, foxes, martens and whatever else roams outside. It’s not even difficult to do this, just make sure there’s no food laying around, and plan for the coop to be vermin proof.
Stores that sell chicken supplies often sell vermin resistant metal trash cans with snug fitting lids. Just dump the feed in there.
Chickens like to eat rats and mice
What kind of miserable shithole would make it against the law to own chickens?
USA
I don’t think it’s exactly against the law. Though the local HOA might have something to say about it.
But noise complaints are noise complaints, whether or not you like the sound of chickens if they’re being too loud you’re going to get a knock on the door. Same as if you had a very annoying dog.
It’s against most city ordinances in the US
most cities in Canada have bylaws against it
apparently you can have quail in some though
There are some great chicken webcams in YouTube. One of them has a way to feed the chickens popcorn remotely for $1 and it’s awesome.
I have neighbors with chickens 2 houses down. I can attest that the chicken sounds bring unexplained joy.
It’s that involuntary contentedness noise they make that I love. I can’t even begin to describe it, but when you get a load of happy chickens loafing about somewhere warm they make a super-relaxing sound that’s like their equivalent of purring.
Behold my emotional support hens
Arise, chicken. Arise.
Over here. Better reception.
ATHF reference in the wild
It’s all fun and games until the rooster wakes you up at 4am.
Edit: sorry, I meant to reply to a different post, but I guess it still works.
Back in the 90’s before backyard chickens was a thing, I lived in the inner city in a neighborhood populated with lots of Puerto Ricans. Don’t know how long it was before I realized I heard roosters on the walk to the bus stop every morning. Now living in the burbs, my neighbors raise chickens, either they get tired of it after a year or their chickens get eaten by the foxes
my neighbors ate their chickens last year. i miss their eggs.
Thanks chickens
Thickens.
The plot…
Ok Ed
Many door, yes, Ed-boy?
