midlife crises

What's the complaint with chickens? If it's the noise, it can't be any worse than most peoples dogs.

Doesn’t have to be chickens. Anything pertaining to life, but especially things that produce value fruit, eggs, meat, veggies, etc.

I like gardening a lot more than I thought I would. We started one last year and have tomatoes, cucumbers, and zucchini. When I put a large slice of homegrown tomato on top of my burger I am reminded of these words from Gandhi, "To forget how to dig the earth and to tend the soil is to forget ourselves."

It's the dumbasses that buy roosters in the city.

Just buy another dozen chicks at Tractor Supply in the spring. No need for male genitals jizz.

I have to think in most cities roosters would be illegal to have. That’s how it is in Dallas.

As far as not liking your neighbors having chickens, I’m sure noise and smell is part of it, but they definitely do attract predators even in the city.

They smell really bad

yep, but I live in Iowa and there isn't a single square inch of the state that doesn't smell like pig crap.

Fair point

[yoga-like_abana]

Rather smell nicname or chickens?

[wetwillie]

Can 6 chickens really smell all that bad? Maybe I need to run an experiment.

I know this is unpopular, but I don't like living near dogs either.

Agree. I appreciate dogs for what they are but prefer not to be around them all else equal.

Depends on the kind of dog and how slovenly you're comfortable living.

This is why I don't trust steve dave and neither should you

Growing up we would pen up 4-6. I didn’t notice a smell unless you were in the coop. I don’t know if being in the country, compared to in town, makes a difference or if I just have no sense of smell. I imagine cleaning out your coop makes a difference and we were pretty good about that.

No matter how much people like their dog there is no way anybody enjoys living around other dogs.

good point. Dogs like being the only dog to dog around them.

Like if i walk up to your house and you have a dog themed welcome mat i assume I’m about to have a bad time.

A lot like kids.  Mine are great, but I don’t really want to be around anyone else’s.

This is 100% true, BUT having a dog and having a dog themed welcome mat are entirely different things

[nicname]

I love non-aggressive breeds.
Dogs aren’t kids/people.
You aren’t a dog parent. There is no such thing.
Keep your dogs in dog spaces.

The perfect family dog is probably a golden doodle. I would say golden retriever but they shed.

Dog nutters are the worst.
