Welcome!

We used to have chickens. They lived in our backyard here in Pickerington, but now they live about 50 miles away at a friend's house. The city of Pickerington does not allow chickens on lots of less than 5 acres, because according to Pickerington, chickens are not pets.

I'd like you to meet:
Ranelle
Night-night
Zoe
Chickenardo and Specky

Sure look like pets, don't they?

  2. Times are changing so fast and kids of all ages are missing out on so many things. Most kids where I teach have never seen a real pig, cow, horse, goat or chicken. They don't have the memory of how a dairy smells or how wonderful it is to see a pen of newborn baby pigs. Leave these chickens alone. I never had a pet chicken, but my mother did. I support chickens as pets!

  3. Chickens are great pets for kids. They make more sense than a dog!

  4. Wait! Don't they still let schools hatch eggs in the spring? Doesn't that make the ducks and chicks classroom pets?

  5. The blog looks great M. Really great. The information about commercially produced eggs just goes on and on and on.

  6. I somehow missed that you are allowed 10 hens in Anaheim. Anaheim! That is one heavily populated urban area! 350,000 people, home to Disneyland, Angel Stadium, and the Anaheim Ducks! WTBH does Pickerington have over Anaheim? I really growl for you over this issue. Growl! Snarl!
