    Yeah, we can't even do beekeeping... even if you live out near the farms.

One day I will have chickies though. Not for food either. Just as pets.

    Please, if your dog is arthritic look into getting it Elk Velvet Antler. Look up my posts on it, PM me, or look it up on a search engine; but please if you love your dog and want it to live many more years consider this option. I've seen so many posts on here about dogs needlessly suffering. I can't make a new post about EVA every time so this plea is going here. EVA also helps with other ailments such as anemia.

    Sure I would love to have a couple,

    I could get fresh eggs but I would NEVER EVER get the chickens chopped.

    I think that's kinda crewl when people keep chickens as pets then eat them ....

    I would say they are our's, since we feed them and they sleep at our house. But there really our neighbors that don't feed them and take care of them.
    Thanks so much Ashley for the siggy!

    What kind of chickens are they? It's a shame they don't care for them.


    Argranade, I totally agree! I couldn't imagin eating my own pets. The origonal plan with my chicks was to keep the hens and give the roos to the dogs, since they eat Raw. Once I got the chicks though, there was NO WAY my dogs were eating them! The roos will be rehomed on a farm with other chickens.
    Owned by two little pastries!

    I don't know the first thing about chickens, so I don't think it will happen.

    I think they are cute, but would never own one. I am not a big bird person.

    They don't creep me out, but I'd never have one.

    Yes, and I have some chickens. I love my chickens. I have Bantam chickens, and have hatched off a few eggs. I will not let my husband eat my chickens! They are my babies!
