I don't see a problem with backyard chickens as long as you don't allow roosters. The smell isn't too bad in most cases. The biggest problem is that the local foxes and raccoons will be very excited by this development. When I was younger, we raised chickens on the family farm. My job was to open and close the henhouse and collect the eggs. The rooster did not like my daily theft. |
NIMBYs hate backyard chickens too. |

Please share where you have a shortage and where they are 11 bucks!
Geez drive to a different store. ALL the eggs in PWC, Loudoun and FFX have them for about 4-6. |
|
How? Where??
|
| I couldn't find eggs for under $6 at the Giant this week. But the solution is not to allow chickens in urban/suburban areas. The solution is finding alternatives to eggs. |
$4 for store-brand, large, white eggs, is a lot. |
Can you provide a link? I'm logged into my HT account and the cheapest is $4. https://www.harristeeter.com/p/highland-crest-large-white-eggs/0007203672973?fulfillment=PICKUP&searchType=default_search |
I mean the whole "let's have everyone farm chickens instead of having large farms" idea doesn't work. Economies of scale matter. Someone did actually try this once in the Great Leap Forward. It resulted in famine. |
Seriously. It's like the idiots who think everyone should grow their own food. |
No one said to close the big farms. It's not wrong to have two kinds of production and allowing people to choose. I suppose that's wrong in the minds of rigid thinkers. You might be one of those. |
OP, you have been pwned. |
| Yes let's expand less regulated ownership of chickens. That will stop the bird flu! |

What is the point of these blatant lies. Most of us know price of eggs. Who is this targeting?
|
I mean if you think having a back yard coop is a cheap easy way to get eggs, you're an idiot. |
