1st. today 8:05 AM here Tuesday, Nov 13th 2007 Picture of Chickens of Key West.

P.S. That was for the benefit of the archives.

good morning - We had (my daughters had) black hen that layed bluel eggs ( well sortof green) in the city limits. My neighbors took three months to figure out where the rouster (red bantam) was.

dorthea, I would have thought the rooster would have found them before three months! Been chased by a few roosters, geese too. They can be fun to get away from. I was about 5 when a goose chased me with its wings flapping. Thought it was going to kill me! Ha ha Can you imagine how big a goose More...

Big Red - I've been chased by geese, but the rooster was a pet., even to he had really long spurs.

I'll never forget that when my brothers and sisters were young...one of my younger brothers was about 3 years old hated to wear diapers,so he ran around half naked..my parents had all kids of yard animals and all of a sudden a duck saw his ''thing danggling and he grabbed it and would not let go..we still laugh at that,,and thanks goodness he is ok...hahahaha

I've enjoyed the stories...Thanks for sharing.

Chooks! Very pretty! DotCom, congratulations on your singular achievement! ;-)

The rooster that picked at my socks when I was little and visiting my grandmother was on our dinner table that evening! What I quilt trip I had but he was tasty.....

They look so adorable, especially the chicks..but..they can scare you.

You're not allowed legally to have chickens within city or town limits unless you have a variance, which they hand out freely if you apply. If I were awakened early in the morning by a neighbor's rooster I would be enjoying him for supper that evening.

I recall my mum and other local women in the CWA (Country Women's Association) plucking chooks behind out tankstand before Christmas. Occasionally Dad would chop of a chooks head and let it run around headless for us to chase.

Fun chook stories!

I have 3 chickens and am only 8 kms from the city centre. Have 3 new ones coming today. The council allows 20 but NO roosters. My grandson has been studying hatchings at school and now they have 30 chickens to give away. Fun and games ahead as to whether the oldies accept the new little ones.

When I was a little girl, I had a pet bantam named Belinda, who used to lay me a 'cackleberry' for breakfast!

it super puzzl

I like chickens especially in a skillet. When I was a little girl just big enought to walk mama chicken flogged me in the face really close to the eyes. We had it for dinner,mmmmmmmmm good. January 18,08
