   Christian Grantham can eat a D. I’m not doing anything wrong by having my 2 hens. We need to grow more of our own food.

   For reals. Hens don’t do much to anyone besides eat bugs and provide eggs. The movement trend is towards urban chickens soooo…

   The problem with keeping chickens is that they stink to high heaven. It takes work to keep a coop clean. I can see keeping 2 or 3 laying hens, but much beyond that is not appropriate for urban conditions.

   It’s not good for the environment, for the neighbours or for the birds themselves. But 3 laying hens on a staggered molt cycle can provide a family with 2 dozen eggs a week. It’s not a bad idea, especially if you’re into the whole slow food movement, or whatever the other movement is called where you get your food from here instead of shipped in. local food or something more catchy….

   A friend of mine has a big one near Iuka and you have to wear a mask when you go into his. Its very bad. He has about twenty to die on him everyday just from a lack of oxygen. Tyson has him burn the bodies outside in an oven they give you when they hire you to raise their chickens. If people knew what was good for them. We’d all have a few laying hens.

   Atlanta lets you keep chickens. Or did. The Atlanta newspaper used to do features on some of the gay residents’ chicken houses, which were decorated to the max. Art hanging on the walls and everything. I am not joking. You could live in one.
