Chickens
Okay, I'm loosing it but what a better place to loose it than DK.
With the increase in popularity of some breeds of dogs the increase in pros and cons occur.
Take for example the increase in demand for Dalmatians after the movie, 101 Dalmatians, was released in 1996. Many of these dogs were found to be over bred and not the great family pets as once thought. Many dogs lost their homes when families found they had to train them or this was not the right dog for a family, or " I bought the dog for my children but found they do not take care of the dog", etc.
Now with Doodles we are all witnessing the increase in popularity, BYB, adoptions, and posts that have become heart wrenching here on DK of those looking to re-home their dogs. Expect to see more.
On to my point-CHICKENS.
In my area, and across the country, designer chickens are becoming a culturally popular animal to get and place in the backyard. Cities in my area are now faced with voting on Chicken legislation.
Students and residents at Kent State University lost their battle to keep chickens in the yard. Nearby, the City of Green, will allow the chickens but no roosters. So no eggs. My other son complained his professor talked more about his chickens than he did instructing his class. Last week, a family member talked on and on about his chickens and how trendy they are. All his friends were getting them. In my area, it is everywhere. It is a fad? Designer Chickens.
I wonder if there are ChickenKisses.com? I wonder if Petfinder.com will have 1/2 million chickens for adoption? 
The above Chicken, BETTY, needs a fenced in yard, another chicken to keep her company. She also has fears the sky is falling... the ad reads on.

Joanne, I totally missed the chicken fad around us!! Where have I been?? Geez!
Are designer ducks a craze to? I wonder because I have four ducks that have taken up residence in my backyard and they are very odd looking, I was thinking they were some kind of inbreeds.... maybe they are designer ducks! Hey maybe they crossed with the designer chickens! I will take photos.
I think the ducks might like a visit to your house Joanne :-)

Don't you dare bring me any of your ducks. I have my own share. Or I did until I got my dog

My ducks are not intimidated by doodles - just ask Hunter who barks at them every single day and they just quake and walk about 5 feet away and stare at her! I swear they look like a cross between a chicken and a duck! I found a photo online that looks just like them....

Oh, I am on my way to select the perfect chicken for us. I want a white chicken, no moulting, or low moulting, good with dogs and children--Oh and make sure the darn thing is trained before you send it my way. What kind of operation are you anyway??

Well look where you link led me. I found the Phyllis Diller of chickens
And this one from the Extra Extraordinary Chicken book, I kid you not:
These are not your average fryers : ) They may cost more than a doodle though.

-
seriously, how much do this things cost?
-
-
No clue. I will look.
-
-
Guess what. The most expensive I found on a quick survey was $49. Many were much cheaper. I could pay more at the supermarket.
-
-
Yes, but I expect the prices will go up as demand increases. :)

I'd better get my order in right away.
