[Vision2020] are you interested in having backyard chickens?

[Sam Scripter]

Really!  I didn't know the City Laws/Ordinances permitted
keeping chickens in residential zones in Moscow.  Maybe it
is in small numbers?

Does this mean that I could be treated to the olfactory
essence of chickens if a breeze blew my direction from
a neighbor's property, in a Moscow R-1 Zone?  And it
would be LEGAL?

My, oh my, what is this world coming to?  Talk to owners
about how to "gather eggs"!  Wow.  I guess I'm just much
too old.

Hey, if somebody wants to offer me a mocha downtown,
I'll give them my personal stories about cleaning the
chicken roost, emptying the "chicken bucket" and watching
the chickens scurrying to get the best morsels, and,
actually gathering the eggs. I can add some zest by
telling tales of fowl slaughtering, dipping carcasses
in boiling water, plucking feathers, and singeing the
pin feathers with a burning newspaper.

Now if doing the above suddenly became "way cool" in
our culture, that would be really interesting, for sure!

Just grousing around, because the weather is getting cold . . .
