Linda, I can remember wanting a horse of my very own , growing up..LOL. I think all kids wanted one. We did have chicken around our yard a couple times. Never any cages or pens...just running loose. We lived at the edge of town. But I think back then many people in town had chickens. Seems we are going back to those times. More people are gardening too. My twins have gardens , Liz's has chicken,& Karen did have rabbits but sold them all .

People need to exercise and then take the dog in if it continues to bark. I like the way chickens can roam around but never really run away. I know when they are penned they wear the grass away. But truly how much damage does a free range chicken do?LOL. <br /> Maybe the chicken drives the dog nuts. :):) Blessings, xoxo,SusieSusiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06425051654313691986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8829885494251858318.post-85813519034293339832015-10-17T05:35:26.856-07:002015-10-17T05:35:26.856-07:00Cindy, I was shocked when I saw that the store whe...Cindy, I was shocked when I saw that the store where I shop has priced their own store brand eggs at 4 dollars a dozen...crazy prices.

She said because we had chickens and the chicken wore the grass out. She always told me stories about the chickens. Of course, she hated them because she had to ring their necks and put in hot water and put the feathers off.
