    my son is "THE PEST"

    no children should be alowed to case chickens or use them to play with. a chicken has a right to some piece and quite, don't you think?. i do suppose the the chickens would lay eggs less if they are constantly under attict from bratty chirden. Tell your chrilden no and go from there..
