My friend wanted to know if chickens smell? yes they have nostrils and they can smell as to what they smell I don't know. Oh, I suppose she wanted to know if they had foul or fowl odor or do they stink?
She should drive by one of the Tyson chicken houses on a warm day when the owner has lost larger number of chickens in death. of course that is saying dead chickens stink. does a live chicken stink? you can smell them and my brother who raised chickens told me it was the smell of money.
The answer is of course they stink, does a beer joint stink? I think a beer joint smells worse than a flock of happy hens but I suppose someone who likes a little alcohol refreshment would say beer smells like a breath of fresh air.
I know that in the towns and cities across this country the question of what you can and can not have in your back yard is coming up often. I don't know if this is because people are wanting to find a way to grow their own food or if it is just our independent nature showing. When there are a large number of people living in close quarters they began to make laws about what people can and can not do.
Our town has a law that people can not have chickens, they must have any canine on a leash, cats can not run lose of course the cats can do about anything they want because the animal controller can't catch them when they can climb a 100 foot tree. I heard the other day that the chicken laws in our town wasn't being enforced as long as your neighbor didn't complain. Lots of luck with that.
You have to cut your grass every 2 weeks or the city will do it and charge you 50 dollars of course now we have a drought so you have no grass growing.
 
I will never move to the city

Lots of people come to our house the first time and think we live so far out of the way. They say, "Oh, I could never live out here." Then they see all of our land, and our chickens, and our big garden. . . they go shooting at out little makeshift shooting range, and nobody calls the police! They see DH's tractor, 4-wheeler, and our huge array of solar panels (try setting THAT up in your average neighborhood). They walk down to the creek on our property and see all of DH's deer stands. . . and they finally get why we live (seemingly) so far out of any town.
