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.

These are pretty scary chickens! I can see where they would help keep the vermin away!

Okay, I went to the link and typed in my wants and desires. Here is what they said would be my perfect chicken match. Look--it's a Parti-Cluck. WTC?
And a Head -tilt Chicken. He is cute
Love his multi-colored plume
Personality: Active, alert, like to roost in trees, good foragers

A Parti-Cluck! Is that anything like a Parti Poodle?
-

I don't know. Maybe they meant Party Chicken? Yeah :)
I am thinking of a designer leash with matching collar. I think black would go good

I would go with a color. Something bright, to set off the stunning black & white coat feathers!

Karen, you should know by now that yes, the whole world has gone nuts. But this is news to me about the chicken rescue. It seems raising chickens may not all be fun and games too.

OMD did you read some of the stuff on that rescue page. We may need to form a rooster defense league. No kidding, reading through this was rather upsetting and sad. I hate unnecessary cruelty.

I can't look at it. I'm up half the night worrying about dogs as it is. If I have to start worrying about roosters...
Don't look at it. None of us needs more sadness over animals right now. I'm sorry to have posted something upsetting in a lighthearted, funny discussion.
Joanne! We need more dancing chickens here!

I'm away from desktop ( reading from phone). Can't put dancing chickens here :(
Please, someone help us softie and sensitive folks who need to dance it all away.... Put dancing, finger blipping chick here___________________
