She is currently working on a blog about raising urban chickens. I was stunned when she told me. She told me she always wanted to do this and is aggressively researching the possibility.

These chickens were not kept as pets-- My grandparents in Centralia Illinois used to keep chickens. Whenever they wanted one for dinner Grandma used to go out, select one, grab it by the neck, twirl it, break it, it would hop around for a while, and then she'd clean it, pluck it, and fry it up. Tasted good. My grandparents here in St. Louis used to keep pigeons. Yeah, they'd eat those muthas. Called em squab. With prices rising, we gonna have to think about going back to the old landmark...   Carey Veteran Poster Username: Carey Post Number: 799 Registered: 05-2004 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!)

Chickens in the yard ain't never been new. There's nothing like fresh yard bird...I mean FRESH!
