You really miss the point. Raising chickens is an activity for the poors. It's the last step before total destitution. It says, "I cannot afford to buy eggs at the grocery store, so I'm going to try to collect my own and sell the extras." So, the appearance of chickens in any established neighborhood immediately downgrades the neighborhood quality. There is a STIGMA attached to this activity. You might as well put your beater up on cinder blocks in the front yard or something.

Now, don't get me wrong. Maybe you ARE having some difficulty with your finances. I'm sympathetic if you are. But, if that's the case, maybe you are stretching too far to buy the house and maybe you cannot afford the neighborhood? Something to think about.[/quote]

Omg, you sound like a hillbilly pretending to be posh. Growing your own food is the hip thing to do these days.

I just visited a friend in the San Fransisco bay area. She lives in a gated community, and keeps chicken, ducks and geese in their backyard. They eat the eggs and treat the birds as pets. Everything is picturesque and no bad smell.[/quote]
