Cheer's that local farms may raise them for us !
Cheer's for farm fresh foods !

- a Freedom Lullaby

Oh but it might be, that in my neck of the woods, it would be that we were free to enter small-scale local Poultry production...

An Urban Backyard raising 50 egg-laying Hens to feed a flock of neighbors. Another raising meat birds. Yet others providing poultry producers the kind of high nutrient food which makes for most nutritious end product - this Chicken Food comes from the waste-stream from human food cultivation. The chickens wastestream, becomes high nutrient soil enrichment. A big win over status quo factory farms.

Safe, Sustainably Sane, Economically Enriching
Not everywhere legal, yet.
Shame.

♪I'm a chicken,
on a steel horse I ride;
and I'm wanted,
Kentucky Fried♫

So, are you supposed to abstain from eating poultry products or just only eat poultry products?

I'm having Chicken tonight regardless, and at least once a week for the rest of my life.

Just like pigs, they are one tasty animal.

;-)

Those yours? WAY COOL and a beautiful cat. My mother wanted some chickens for our B&B but the county said no for fear we might try selling eggs so we had to settle on three miniature donkeys which are way bigger but don't really produce anything. :D

Yep, they number among my Furred and Feathered, Friends and Neighbors ; - )

Perhaps the Donkeys serve the B&B charm? Sleigh Rides for the Holidays, elements of a "Homestead Week", aspects of menagerie?

Shame, for the law to prevent such freedom. Meals of egg and chicken, harvested within the hour, at a cozy Bed and Breadfast, is a most healthy pleasure. Not to mention economically, environmentally, and communally sound.

The chicken who was my best friend when I was 6 ended up on my plate. When my granddad pointed this out to me, it was a moment that scarred me for life. Now a veggie...
