I read the latest edition and I
was quite saddened especially with the Jim Tucker story.
Ever since I can remember chickens have always been
in my life. As a child I would spend my summers at my
Grandparents house and most of the time I was outside
with the chickens. To understand chickens you really
need to take some time to get to know them and see how
fascinating they really are. I always joke and say that
chickens are the only ones that thank God for another
drink (If you have chickens you know what I mean how
they take a gulp and then look up and say Thank you
to God)
Anyway, I can go on about how chickens
are great pets but what saddened me the most is that
I have chickens and my area it is not zoned agriculture.
You don't know how fearful I am every time I get a new
neighbor. What if they call zoning on me? I just don't
get it. A barking dog or a cat house are ok but an animal
who not only gives eggs but ultimately gives their life
to their master can not be kept except for out in the
country.
I think that is wrong. My chickens
will never know a premature death. Rather my chickens
provide me with eggs, and die when they are very old
of natural causes. Why have them then? Well, they are
my girls. They provide me so much happiness when they
hatch chicks, care for them, and even to see each of
their antics. Each of them is very special to me.
I just wanted to share this with
you! Great newsletter and Thanks for all the photos.
