Soo... Hypothetically speaking and not naming any names... Say someone got a little
Brinsea incubator, and say they found some interesting eggs to purchase to hatch in said incubator, but they were limited by city or county codes as to how many chickens they could keep - is there any harm in maybe keeping one or two that one might favor, and then either selling or giving away the rest? Just so that, hypothetically speaking of course, that they could try hatching and raising a few chicks just for the experience? Would that be ethical, fair and kosher to do in the chicken world?
Hypothetically speaking, someone, who shall not be named, only has four chickens, so she is allowed four more in any case. If she were to hatch some eggs, and were to keep no more than she would have been allowed under the old rules, I don't see an ethical problem since it was rather arbitrary to suddenly cut the number of chickens she could keep. As she's not Jewish, being kosher is irrelevant
, and as long as the neighbors don't complain, I don't see a legal problem either. Since her neighbors seem endlessly fascinated by her chickens, and interested in getting their own, I don't foresee any complaints as long as she doesn't allow them to become a nuisance.
