Got those Cabin Fever Blues?
Wanna express yourself again?
Well, here's your opportunity!
Let's take a new look at that "Chicken in every pot" proposal for Lakewood made lately, that seems to be making the rounds. You know the one- a house can have up to 4 pet chickens and resultant eggs galore.
After all, like those big shiny new 93 gallon dumpsters coming to your home soon, there are visions of clucking chickens being planned far all those yards around you.
Both of these, following the lead of our big sister next door....Cleveland.
It's nice to have someone to look up to...big sis.
Anyway, as an old Pennsylvania native, I know a thing or two about chickens....
And blacksnakes, raccoons, foxes....and let's not forget Rattis norvegicus.
(For the unwashed- the Brown, or incorrectly named Norway Rat)
A critter up to 20 inches long nose to tail tip, and capable of 5 litters a year with up to 14 pups per litter....and they love chickens.
Used to be, and still is, they love cities too.
Where we live, they do.
Not being dumb, they generally hang out in the sewers, unless there's a good reason to come up...and they do have a bodacious sense of smell.
Here chickie chickie.....
I believe it was George Santayana who offered: "Those
who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
Oh well, I'm sure Chef Geoff can probably come up with delicious recipes for rat; for those so inclined.
