A House committee cleared a bill that will allow Georgia homeowners to have chickens, milk goats and rabbits - as long as the goal is to feed their families.Really???
While the idea of having a coup of chickens to save on the rising prices of eggs sounds maybe a little intriguing to me, I think these people have lost their minds. If you want Old McDonald at the house you need to live in the country. All that noise and the smell... Am I missing something? I can just see this getting out of hand.
Will I wake up in the morning, take my coffee to the porch and find that my neighbors having slaughter day. The image of murdered chickens is not one I want to see from my doorstep. I prefer to save that work for Tyson or Clayton or whoever you get your chicken from.
And then the rooster... If you have hens, I imagine you are going to need at least one rooster to keep the hens happy and the process moving. Roosters crow!!!! I bought my alarm clock from Wally World (Wal-mart). I don't need any extra help waking up in the morning. I can see myself throwing something at this poor animal when he decides to proclaim his territory at some ungodly hour on Saturday morning. I thought I lived in a CITY.
Rep Bobby Franklin made the comment, "If Michelle Obama can grow food at the White House, then no Georgia family should be denied the right to grow their own food". Michelle doesn't have no chickens and goats running round the White House or did I miss that clip on the news. If you want to grow your tomatoes, lettuce, squash, etc... go for it. When they start talking about barnyard animals... NO.
