The Copper Creek Clucker Club

Yes, you read that right. We've discovered that there are many people here that have, want, or love chickens. So now we have a place to post them.

Show off those beautiful birds!

Here's my Lil Stretchy as a new baby:

I would love to have chickens!! I don't think we're zoned for it, though.

Just recently there was a story on the local news about a young autistic boy whose chickens were a sort of therapy for him. They tried to make the family get rid of the chickens due to zoning issues, but once it hit the news they dropped the whole thing.

The laws are so different from state to state and each county too. Here at least, if you aren't bothering your neighbor, they don't fool with you.

I'll just sit back and watch and wish I had nice fresh eggs instead of the ones I have to buy from the grocery store. I miss real eggs.

 

[FlyingV]

I'd send you some if they would make it there safely. We give away eggs now. I should hang a sign and sell them.

Pic from last fall. The girls on the left are Silver Laced Wyandottes, the girls on the right are Easter Eggers. The roo in the middle was a cuckoo marans. He's now chilling in the freezer.

I used to collect eggs at a chicken farm when I was a youngster. So one day I am going about my duties pushing the cart down the aisle collecting the eggs and my foot slipped below the cages into the pit. It is the area underneath 100yards of chicken cages stacked 3 levels high to collect chicken waste. I had on my brand new bright white nike's I had just bought with my egg collecting money. Needless to say from that day forward I had one bright white sneaker and one off-white sneaker that didn't smell quite right. If you looked real close at the pit you would notice movement. Upon closer examination A.K.A. my poo soaked sneaker I figured out what the movement was. It was millions and billions of maggots devouring the chicken feces. That was the most disgusting day of my life and I don't own any chickens so I can't join the clucker club.

And is one of the reasons why I don't buy store bought chicken or eggs.
