I too hope that people will be serious and ensure the birds safety and health. I clean the water source every day and I inspect the birds poop, and I watch for any change in behavior, and I pray for my birds safety. Truly is a blessing to have the opportunity to raise birds for whatever healthy reason people do so.We've seen this here, too. Tons of new chicken owners on our local Facebook chicken keeping page and our local supplier has been overrun with orders. This is our first batch as well, but years in the making waiting to find a new house with the room to give them a full happy life, just happened to coincide with the current situation. I am foreseeing a lot of pullets up for grabs in the coming months, BUT, at the same time, hoping these people will come through and become good chicken owners. Also hoping this might encourage more municipalities to review their current ordinances and allow responsible chicken keeping.
