Hi Ron!

I hope you have been laughing along with us today.
 
I think it's funny chickens, no roosters are allowed in NYC but there is some small rural towns that do not allow chickens.
Small city near me, Oneonta just OK'd up to five hens, any processing must be done inside.

Yep it is weird. The house we live in was apparently on ~120 acres WAY WAY WAY back. About 45 acres when the people we bought from bought it in 1999. They chunked off ~20 acres 10 years ago and created an 8 house development. Their private road runs up the south side of our property and they have some common land so they have an association. In their "rules" (or whatever association "thou shalt" are called) it specifically states "No poultry". What?? But they CAN have horses (on their < 2 acre lots) and lamas (their misspelling, not mine) Say WHAT??. But no poultry of any kind.

It's amazing how some folks' thought processes work... I mean where do the store bought eggs come from? Some non-reproducing chicken breed? Manufactured in a test tube? I mean, an egg by definition is an undeveloped "baby"... If it's a chicken egg, it came from a chicken! Doesn't matter WHERE the chicken is physically located

The difference is the eggs produced from an at home flock have come from chickens with substantially better living conditions than most mass produced eggs, and we know what went into our food (eggs) producers (chickens) in the way of no UN-natural substances such as steroids and hormones, antibiotics & pesticides etc. Our home grown eggs are better for us!

Um, nope, a FERTILIZED egg is an undeveloped baby. And that difference is why we can not have a rooster here. My "emotional vegetarian" daughter will not eat an egg that even MIGHT be fertilized since it COULD have developed into an animal if it were fertilized. And I sure as H.E. double hockey sticks am not going to buy eggs at the store for her when my chickens are laying them right here (well except when they are being freeloaders).

My sister met a person that had graduated from medical school.....

And didn't know that butter came from cows

How could it? They have no way to hold the churning rod!!

I was telling my Dr that I mostly eat chicken and fish. He was commending me on my "healthy" eating habits. Heck no I said. I just can't afford steak! I'm settling down to a healthy dinner. (Except for the chlorine and other chemicals)

You laugh but when my older daughter was about a year old my wife and I visited my step sister in San Diego (would have visited Deb but I didn't know you existed 21 years ago!). We went out to a restaurant and ice is what my daughter ate. She loved to chomp ice back then.

gotta wonder why they didn't stop him at 20 years or so huh?

Obviously because he did not need glasses until he hit 30 years.
