Eh, I guess not then. Dammit, I'm trying to think of something to do, can't come up with anything though. Too bad you can't eat cats, ours have been fed and cleaned up after for years, might as well get something in return.

You're sitting around bored and you can't think of anything better to do than raise chickens?

Move to Kauai. There's chicks all over the island.

Screw that. You'd have to deal with the butchery, which really wouldn't be that bad... but cleaning it and everything just isn't worth the effort.

Hit up a butcher and get a fresh chicken for $20 and call it a day.

It's not just the food at the end of the day, it's the satisfaction of making it yourself, entirely. Being involved in every step of the process.

If having chicken sh!t all over your backyard is satisfaction to you, go ahead. There's nothing at all that's fun or entertaining about raising chickens.

You know, it's funny, but... I can't find the words "fun" or "entertaining" in any of my posts so far. Hmm...

Really? 'Cause there is two right there...

heh smartass :beer:

Yeah. I thought briefly growing some oats in a large tray, but that would only get me a bowl of oatmeal, really.

Consume its flesh. I'm having a tough time digesting your statement.

I prefer to buy from the grocery store.

Involved in every step? Like sitting on the egg and waiting for it to hatch? Or better yet, artificially inseminating a hen? How far do you want to go for this "satisfaction?"

As far as I feel like, that's how far.

Yes, and there are slaughter rules in most cities towns due to the health authority.

PS. most city people will be too squeamish when it come killing the pet for food.

Although I've never killed an animal for food, I'm not really a city person. I happen to live in the suburbs right now, but I grew up for a good portion of my childhood in Upstate New York on a farm. Of course, whether I'd actually kill the chicken when it came time to do it is another matter, but I'd imagine I'd be more than happy to do it just to stop having to take care of it.

So I don't get it... you're saying I should raise a sheep instead? Or what?

I can see the YAGT now.

No, I've only bought chicks on a market as pets, when I was a kid. But they ended up dying.
