I think more people should have chickens

They are utterly ridiculous animals. We have four, getting a bit long in the beak now, but it's fitting because we named them after The Golden Girls. Mr. The Codewitch argues with them. I didn't want them at first, but I've grown fond of them. Except Blanche. The hussy. :laugh:

20 years ago, the Norwegian Minister of Agriculture expressed the same idea, except that we still call hens 'hens', not chicken - that is for these fluffy, yellow down balls. In a broadcasted political debate about the shortage of eggs, he expressed his opinion that 'Every man should have his own hen'. There is only one hitch: In Norwegian slang, 'hen' is a term for a female c**t. To me, it appears as if the ambiguity was unintentional, but if you know Norwegian, you can judge by yourself: Lars Sponheim: - Hver mann sin høne (10.03.2004)[^] (crossing my fingers that the YouTube clip is available in your location)

Wouldn't that be "Mr. Codewarlock" or "Mr. Codewizard"? Just saying... :laugh:

What about eggs? Do you get eggs, or do you need a rooster around to at least get them started? When I was a wee lad, we had chickens, and a rooster, and of course eggs. The rooster, though, was not my mum's favourite beast, but she did say that he was the best tasting chicken she'd ever had. AFAIK, we still got the eggs, even after the rooster was gone.

Nah, you don't need a rooster. :) In fact, if you have rooster you'll get chicks instead of eggs for eating. We can't keep a rooster in city limits and they're noisy and often aggressive anyway. One of our chickens, Sophia is dying today. Organ failure from old age, so we'll bury her in the back yard because we're those people. :laugh:

When I was a kid, my grandfather (living next door on his farm) had chickens, and you could always count on the roosters to tell you the time, first thing in the morning. Decades later I swear my neighbor had a rooster that couldn't tell the time, as he was noisiest at 4 in the afternoon.

Here on our ranch, we havae about a dozen hens (unfortunately, a coyote got our rooster. Then the dogs got the coyote.) We have lots of free breakfast eggs and make a little money selling the extra eggs.

Mr. The Codewitch used to trade them to the coffee stand staff for cappuccinos back when he worked at the local hospital. If the chickens ever found out we profited off of their labor they'd probably unionize.

The only live animals that I want in my house are children. Any dead animals had better be going on my plate. (In order to keep the peace in the family, I agreed to a dog. It grows on one; I can't imagine a worse fate. :sigh:)
