The Chickens

I find it hilarious that when people find out about our situation they immediately ask, “What are you going to do with the chickens?” No mention of the dog, cats or us.

This shouldn’t totally be a surprise, after all, most places will allow people and cats and dogs to live but chickens might be a bit more difficult. Sure there are probably landlords who wouldn’t mind if we kept the chickens in the yard, but I can’t imagine too many who’d be keen on the idea. The argument can be made that they are perfect garbage disposals, weed and pest control, and create the best fertilizer once composted for both vegetables and flowers, but alas, chickens are still not considered the pets they should be in most realms… probably because they are pets who actually do their share to give back to their owners in the form of delicious eggs.
