Any Jewish Poultry Keepers?

[Brahma Chicken5000]

Just wondering if there are any other Jewish poultry keepers on BYC. How religious you are is not relevant. Just wanting to discuss raising poultry with Jewish values in mind like chaggim (holidays), shechitah (ritual slaughter), Shabbat (sabbath), raising poultry and or living in a rural area while still being a practicing Jew if applicable.

Cheers,
Aryeh

I'm Nancy and although my grandparents were Orthodox Jews, my parents were not.
My grandfather had the training to become a Cantor but worked in a steel mill instead?

I've had no religious instruction BUT, I do fast every year for Yom Kippur since I was 12.
I feel I need to. My Hebrew name is Neshi Solomn.

Is Neshi is an abbreviation of Neshama נשמה ?
