[history]
In the backyard of a Tudor home on a leafy street in Queens live four tenants who pay their rent in companionship, pest control, and fresh eggs.
"Our 9-year-old daughter wanted a dog for her birthday and we surprised her with chickens instead. She was at first disappointed," said Ruth Harrigan. "They're very independent. It's almost like having a cat."

I’m not the pheasant plucker, I’m the pheasant plucker’s son.
I’m only plucking pheasants, ‘till the pheasant plucking’s done.

Chickens are not the most friendly of pets. I had them when I was a kid. With one exception, the highest level of friendliness occurred when I fed them out of my hand... otherwise, they would pretty much keep their distance. The one exception followed me everywhere and was a true pet.

I’ve been buying fresh-laid eggs from my local farmer’s market. You’ve really got to clean those good! This new fad of market-to-home is great but you’ve gotta educate yourself.

I have some new juvenile chicks that appear to be “friendly”, but I’m concerned it’s more “aggressive” than friendly.
Seriously, guys, peck the food, not the hand!

If freshness is a concern for you, they won’t last as long after they are cleaned.

I work with a guy who raised chickens and sold eggs. We were discussing it once on break. One of the girls said, "I don't think I could kill and eat them after raising them."
He said, "I didn't think so either but after you have them for awhile you really want to wring their necks."

The real story is: How much do CDC alarmists make per year for issuing stupid warnings such as this? Those of us who grew up on farms never heard of A) kissing a chicken or B) salmonella being spread by chickens. No one we knew ever got sick from proximity to chickens as we filled feeders, picked up the chickens to get to their eggs in the nests, and cleaned their houses.
It takes a bloated federal government with too many fat cat employees who need to issue a warning or regulation every day to justify their jobs to come up with such a ridiculous story as “Don’t Kiss Your Pet Chicken.”

But they have filth on them. I try to consume them within the week - as well as give some to family and friends. They truly are wonderful.
Thanks for telling me, though.

That reminds me of the “Cork Soakers” skit on SNL many years ago. :=)

We've got three - try to keep my emotional distance 'cause when they're done with productive egg laying I've got to kill 'em and cook 'em.
But I'm starting to get to know and like them - different personalities. Dammit.
