Sorry, couldn't watch more than 1 minute. Mumbling, sputtering... get to the point!

It's 3 years old, BTW.

I can't stand when people refer to a girl as a chick.

It's Tweety! Have you never heard of him??

I have students that use that term in normal conversation and it grates on my nerves. When I called their attention to it, they didn't even know it was degrading. They just hear it so often so they begin using it and don't realize how low and trashy it sounds. shock

Indeed.

A girl is not a chicken. She is a person of the female gender. Lady

A chicken is a rather smelly creature, full of diseases, that for some reason my neighbours have decided to keep. And they have put the chicken coop on the lawn in front of our front window, so we can smell the lovely things and have people staring into our living room at the same time!!! Twisted Evil

So, you're a vegetarian I take it?

I don't find a healthy chicken any more disease ridden than the average parakeet. Now if you're talking about the stuff that Empire passes off as "chicken", then I'd have to agree with you! Give me free range, organic any day. Yum!

You would smell too if you were caged up in a small box with your own feces. A smelly chicken coop is a mismanaged one.

My chickens don't smell or have diseases. They eat our table scraps (no bal tashchis!) and provide delicious fresh eggs for us. We keep everything clean with lots and lots of fresh pine shavings in the "run" for the hens to dig and play in which are cleaned out whenever necessary.

Frantic, I'm not a vegetarian in the least. Far from it. As they say, the best chicken is a dead chicken, preferably in my Shabbos soup.

It's the live chickens that stink. And unlike the poster above, the neighbours ain't so meticulous with the little horrors' comfort or cleanliness!

My theory is that kids and pets are only as good or bad as the people who are raising them. Don't malign the poor chickens, it's not their fault they're being raised like that!

If you're really concerned, a call to Animal Control could at least make sure that they are housed properly, and not creating a health nuisance. At best, maybe they'll be taken away if the neighborhood is not zoned for livestock. You can call anon if you like.

I HATE animal abuse! Mad
