wow! she actually up and left?? i'm dating myself and i warn them about the chicks in the house. i think they don't believe me cuz when they finally see it, they're really surprised. but there's no way, until i have the right facility, will i have those chicks outside. they're my money makers and i don't need them dying on me.

What a great way to screen dates,

My sis and her family were here from Tn over the weekend and I don't think her kids had ever seen chickens that weren't on the dinner plate, anyway I had a guinea keet in the house because of a bad leg and her 4 yr old loved all over him, I finally had to take it away from the boy and then it was out to the bigger chicks, my Banty Roo was out and about and he went right over and scooped him up, it was too cute

I believe the question at my house would be "what animal haven't you had in the house at some point?" Ha! ha!
Chickens are free therapy for the soul!

Just goes to show city people know nothing about country people.

Livestock is an investment. As a kids is was common to have something in the house near the fireplace in winter. Especially baby calves, chickens, cats, dogs, you name it really. Once my brother even had a baby deer in a playpen by the fire because he found it laying with its mother who was frozen and didn't want to see the baby die too. That baby was bottle fed until the Wildlife Dept could get someone out to rehab it.

That's kinda like all these MILLIONS of people moving to my state from up north (no offense to y'all from up north). They think I'm crazy just for having chickens. HELLO people you moved to NORTH CAROLINA!!!!!! THIS IS THE SOUTH!!!!! I can't wait until my northerner boss finds out I'm getting goats soon. The first thing I hear when I get to work is "How are the chickens doing? Snicker Snicker"

Oh my gosh you have a dirty bird in the house!!! What about that cat you let go poo in a box in the corner of the bathroom??? Or that cute little poodle that uses newspapers in the kitchen because you TRAINED it to go inside? Some people are so silly. Animals are family!

You must mean those crazy northern city people. I like them... they pay top dollar for "free ranged farm stuff". I would NEVER buy 6 brown "free ranged" eggs for 4.99
