You eat eggs doncha, Rach? You should get chickens – you don’t need much space and they are such nice little creatures to have around. Just make sure they’re chicks. ( I did that by accident, you know.)

I want chickens more than anything else in the world. Ever since I was a kid I wanted chooks.

Sadly, I am of the vegetarian persuasion, but at least Mr Rooster didn’t go to waste…

Thanks, Jess. There are few worthier causes than decent food.

And you’re right, James, that raising chickens is wonderful for more than the (excellent) eggs. The rooster appears in all four photos …

Yay for raising chickens!

I think it is a wonderful thing to do, not just for the amazing eggs, but for the perspective it gives on where our food comes from. We have four hens (Roosters are illegal here, alas), and may get another two to our limit of six someday. They really help with teaching our children that food doesn’t just magically appear on store shelves (Or, in the case of the beef we get, in the mail. ;) )

Oh noes, enny! I’ll put it in the title as well. That’s the second time you’ve suffered that one, isn’t it?
