No while he is very helpful and approving of my keeping chickens, our first was a cockrel foundling, that my neighbor's kids found and their Dad was complaining that he wanted to get rid of it to my husband. I walked up on the conversation and begged like a five year old for that bird!! We had been talking about and researching keeping chickens in our backyard for years. So I ended up getting my way. After I found this site he kept telling me I should join, it took a few years, partly cause I wasn't sure I had much to contributate. But now I am very glad to be with all of you, nice to be able to interact, instead of just looking in like some creepy window peeper!!! LOL
