An article in today's paper regarding a zoning change in a near-by city to allow people to keep chickens as pets.

Chickens could come to roost in Newport Beach

I worked with a lot of chickens in earlier times, but we never had to wean one.

Were you ever able to get offspring without roosters?

I did a search and an unweaned animal is one who cannot feed themselves. But I don't know how you'd get the offspring without a rooster.

Well, I grew up on a farm and I can assure you that chicks can feed themselves as soon as they come out of the shell.

I will consider your position if stated with firm, well-thought-out, quiet reasoning. Hateful diatribe, ad hominem attacks and shouted rhetoric don't impress.

Visitation rights?

Yes, none of ours ever saw their mother.

It's tricky, they only allow two chickens at a time on the property and one of the hens may have to step out when the rooster exercises his visitation rights.

unweaned offspring... perhaps you can keep some calves in with your 2 chickens?
