Fresh eggs every morning, that’s all I’m saying.

    I want to keep chickens too. I was about to start, but then that swan (and the accompanying bird flu) ended up in Cellardyke, just about 6 miles from my house. I figured it wasn’t the best time to start.

    But seeing as that’s all pretty much blown over, I might give it another go.

    Fresh eggs. And apparently you can feed chickens anything. I’ve got some unwanted coal in the shed - that ought to keep them going for a while but might make the eggs taste a bit funny.

    Why do I get the feeling that you are using Evan as a smokescreen for what YOU’RE actually wishing for?

    I’m very intuitive that way eh?

    I support you in this endeavor, Dan. You know I do. However, you must remember that a chicken can never be truly KEPT. Just a little FYI from The Chick to you.

    Do different breeds of chicken taste different? Fresh eggs are good though. I had a raw egg in chili and soft tofu soup this lunchtime. I just thought I’d share that.

    Chickens are the new dog in many parts of America (California!?!) They do a good job of foraging and love table scraps - and “free range” eggs are DELICIOUS! Let me know if you want me to plead your case (yours and Evan’s) with Kerry. I have 25 layers in my back yard - and a few guinea fowl to keeps the ticks and mosquitoes in check.
