They're great fun to watch, but eww their poop is impossible to get off clothes and it smells so bad.<br /><br />We have space for chickens in our back garden, and my mum wants them but is worried about the responsibility (because she gets dumped with everything in the house). We also have a large urban fox population around here so I'd worry about them. Oh, and we don't eat that many eggs!<br /><br />I also raised and slaughtered my own pig once. That was a bit traumatic, not because "omg not she's so cute" but because she didn't get killed in a calm way and because she didn't even taste that good. I would do it all over again, but I think I'd hire a butcher to come out and kill the animals, so it gets done in a more humane way.Ruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02896653669000842779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-772797935823462975.post-28765106183648647562011-10-17T05:36:19.304+01:002011-10-17T05:36:19.304+01:00Very cool.
I had the opportunity to raise chicke...Very cool. <br /><br />I had the opportunity to raise chickens (in the city) a few years ago and it was amazing to get something directly from the source. People often forget that our food, yarn, etc. come from somewhere other than just a package at the store.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04049473344789178967noreply@blogger.com
