Today's Wall Street Journal had a front page article related to people keeping chickens as pets. Bonus: eggs, of course.
So...
... do you have chickens? (Not in the 'fridge, I mean LIVE ones!)
If so, do you consider them to be pets? Or working farm creatures?

Yup! Lots of them. This year's pullets are about to start laying (they are singing and singing) and then the eggs will be like zucchini around here - keep your car doors locked when you visit or you know what will happen.

I was watching where come cities are lifting the regulations to keep a few as pets/layers :D:D:D
Wonder how happy some of the neighbors will be with the roosters crowing at dawn?

No, but I remember having them when I was young (back in the dark ages, of course). I was in 6th grade when we turned the last of them into main courses. So I do know first hand about the phrase "like a chicken without its head". Also, the smell of hot, wet feathers.

We live in the 'burbs and have 2 chickens. We plan on getting 2 more next year;> No roosters to keep our neighbors happy. And we have a little under 1/2 acre so they can free range. They're hilarious to watch and are extremely tame since we handle them so much.
