2: Should your neighbors be able to keep chickens in their back garden?
3: Other than chicken, what kind of eggs can you buy in your local neighborhood, and do you?
4: Have you ever been chased by a chicken?
5: Do you eat chicken?
My answers:
1: Have you ever kept raised or kept chickens? I have not, my father didn't want anything on the farm that required daily care.
2: Should your neighbors be able to keep chickens in their back garden? This has become a hot topic in many American cities, I think they should, they don't make anymore noise than many dogs, and produce eggs.
3: Other than chicken, what kind of eggs can you buy in your local neighborhood, and do you? I can buy quail eggs almost all of the time, if I go to the fancy market or the asian market they often have duck eggs, Whole Foods has stopped carrying Emu eggs. Quail eggs are cute, but fussy to cook, Duck eggs are wonderful, I wish they were easier to get (we lost the Egg Man at the farmers market during COVID, he often has Duck eggs.)
4: Have you ever been chased by a chicken? As a child, but then I ran from almost everything until I was in my 30's.
5: Do you eat chicken? Yes, often.
Please share your answers in the comments.
1. nope
ReplyDelete2. Sure. BH and I l had neighbors once who owned peacocks. Chickens are a piece of cake!
3. I have no idea. I'm not adventurous when it comes to eggs.
4. Yes. Also, by a goose. As an adult I was chased by my bestie's blue streaked lory. Small bird that became the size of an ostrich when angry.
5. Yes. It's one of the few meats I can chew without teeth (me without teeth not the chicken).
Peacocks can be noisy, pretty, but they make themselves heard.
DeleteYeah, horny peacocks sound like women being murdered. Scared the crap out of us when we first heard it.
Delete1: Have you ever kept raised or kept chickens? Nope
ReplyDelete2: Should your neighbors be able to keep chickens in their back garden? Depends how it is done - partner's next door neighbor kept laying hens in her back yard but fed them by scattering the feed. This attracted rats and vermin from the alley and an additional expense for pest control for the neighbors. I'm sure that there is better way of feeding the laying hens and keeping the hens.
3: Other than chicken, what kind of eggs can you buy in your local neighborhood, and do you? Haven't looked although I'm pretty sure that if I walked up to the neighborhood Asian market I could find something.
4: Have you ever been chased by a chicken? No
5: Do you eat chicken? Yes.

I have a story about the Vietnamese Doctor and the ducks around the pond.
Delete1. My parents kept chickens at times. They never seemed to live to long. Some were eaten by us and many eaten by foxes.
ReplyDelete2. I don't think they should be in tight suburban areas.
3. I can only think of emu eggs, ah and duck eggs.
4. I was chased by a rooster. I was scared.
5. I eat chicken often. While once a luxury, it is now very cheap. I like to ensure it is a free range chicken, and the same for eggs.
I bought a whole chicken yesterday for less than $6.

You have a big back garden, plenty of room for a roost.
Delete1: Have you ever kept raised or kept chickens? No
ReplyDelete2: Should your neighbors be able to keep chickens in their back garden? Yes. As long as though there is a decent gap between properties.
3: Other than chicken, what kind of eggs can you buy in your local neighboUrhood, and do you? Fish eggs (roe), quail eggs and for both the answer is NEVER.
4: Have you ever been chased by a chicken? Only in my dreams - a massive chicken called Henry with claws the size of a man's arm and a beak like the bucket of a mechanical digger.
5: Do you eat chicken? Of course I do. There's no way I would wear it on my head!
Being chased like that in your dreams, have you considered therapy? I know this guy in Wales.
DeleteYeah. I know that guy in Wales too and he definitely needs therapy.
Delete1: Have you ever kept raised or kept chickens? I have not. I think we could at our house since we're not in the city limits though.
ReplyDelete2: Should your neighbors be able to keep chickens in their back garden? They must because we hear a rooster every so often.

You could expand your pet repertoire, and have fresh eggs.

4: Have you ever been chased by a chicken? Yes!
5: Do you eat chicken? Yes, a few times a week
Have you ever done the Chicken Dance? 😄
I have not done the chicken dance. When I was in law school there was a series of cases across the country about keeping pot bellied pigs as household pets. I collected the case reports and promised myself I would not be the pig lawyer. My first legal aid call started out with, "you have to help me, they are trying to take away my lion."
Delete"Small bird that became the size of an ostrich when angry." That's brilliant. The neighbors across the street when I was a kid had peacocks, Scared the crap outta me too first time I heard them.
Delete1. no
ReplyDelete2. maybe
3. none
4. no
5. yes
When you have a chance, try a duck egg.
Delete1: Have you ever kept raised or kept chickens? No, I've been a city girl all my life.
ReplyDelete2: Should your neighbors be able to keep chickens in their back garden? In an apartment complex, no. Maybe if there is a big yard.
3: Other than chicken, what kind of eggs can you buy in your local neighborhood, and do you? I only see standard white or brown chicken eggs.
4: Have you ever been chased by a chicken? No
5: Do you eat chicken? Yes
There is an organic farmer who advocates that if you can keep a parrot you can keep a hen, and the hen will gladly eat veggie peelings and reward you with eggs.
Delete1. I have never owned or raised chickens.
ReplyDelete2. When I was a kid, our neighbours two houses down raised chickens for eggs and (once past laying) meat. I've never encountered urban chickens since.
3. I don't eat any eggs other than chicken eggs. The Rare One was given some quail eggs once. Her brother used to raise quail for eggs and meat.
4. No, never been chased by a chicken.
5. Yes, I eat chicken with relish, as Dr Spo would say.
Quail eggs are pretty, but so small that they are difficult to work with.
DeleteI miss seeing the emu and ostrich eggs at Whole Foods...
