When her neighbor's roosters and chickens persisted in running through her yard, G. Stone took matters into her own hands.
She marched next door and issued a warning: Do something about the uninvited guests or the birds "were going in my pot."
The incursions stopped. But Stone, a retired Los Angeles County librarian who lives northwest of Watts, shook her head in exasperation as she recalled the incident.
"I've lived here for 50 years," she said. "All of a sudden, there's an influx of chickens. You're not supposed to have chickens in the city."
For many, the image of South Los Angeles is that of a paved, parched, densely packed urban grid. But increasingly, it is also a place where untold numbers of barnyard animals -- chickens, roosters, goats, geese, ducks, pigs and even the odd pony -- are being tended in tiny backyard spaces

Third world indeed.
We had a chicken roaming our neighborhood.
It belonged to the house with 6 cars parked in front and 4 families living there.
She is a librarian. By default she is almost certainly a lib and favors unchecked immigration. Welcome to the effects of your political choices, now sit down and shut up and let Hector tend to his chickens.
They can’t keep them in the front yard because those are filled with cars for all the unlicensed occupants.
BTW..those aren’t chickens..they are fighting cocks.

Our big cities are going to ruin. People wonder why there are gated communities.
“People wonder why there are gated communities.”
To keep the chickens in?
I’ve been reading and hearing a lot lately about how with the fuel and food prices going up at the rate they are, we all need to start looking into driving less and raising our own food to supplement what we have to buy. Looks like these folks are on the forefront of trying to conserve and save energy.
Downtouwn L.A. is a dump!
She is obviously resisting multi culturalism, embrace the slide to Banana Republicanism that is happening in the US, it’s what’s good for you....
Not chickens...”yard pimps”.
No doubt. The Republicans not attacking illegal immigration is one of the greatest political blunders in the history of the party. If you go look at the comments to a ridiculous Geraldo Rivera post at Huffington Post, you'll see that even far-left liberals are against illegal immigration. Americans of every political persuasion are against illegal immigration; it's one of the few issues that people from all political sides agree on. But the idiot Republicans have ignored the people's will. It's a disgrace, and an idiotic one, politically.
More like welcome to the vision of Demolition Man. How long until fire, postal and bus services are cut into the hearts of these pesthole neighborhoods?
Just had to reply!Neighbors had untold amounts of chickens next door to my old shop.You could not eat them as the feed,as I was told,was for fighting cocks and was not good for human consumption..Hundreds of them and they would fly over the fence in my back yard.They were so hyper that when my dogs would get after them,they literally fell over and died from shock!~Without so much as a scratch on them.[I live in Tx.]
We bought the place next to us and during the cleaning process,discovered numerous syringes which I believe they used to shoot them up with something before a fight.They never laid eggs either.
“Wherever there are Mexicans, there is Mexico.”
My mother tells of people keeping backyard chickens in Nashville during the war. The way the economy’s going, I’m planning to build a coop in the expectation that the HOA will cave. I’m told that someone in the back of the subdivision has them now.
To keep the turd world out.
Do librarians believe in BB guns?
Reminds me of the scene in Blazing Saddles where they recalled fighting Richard Dix.
