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.

In my dad's house you ate what was served or it was not fun. So I am sure I did eat chicken. But maybe we didn't have it right after the chicken disappeared : ) But we did have our suspicions about where that chicken ended up.

It is a fad! Here is what www.mypetchicken.com has to say:
"Be the Coolest Kid on the Block! Despite their many merits, backyard chickens are still relatively uncommon. Wow neighbors, friends and family by being the first person they know to have chickens. Amaze them with the green eggs from your Ameraucana hens. Confound them by scooping up your pet chicken and cuddling it. Astound them when your chicken falls asleep in your arms after you've lovingly stroked its comb and wattles. Make them green with envy at the lawn your flock has made effortlessly fabulous.
Chickens are, after all, the most "chic" pet you could possibly have. And we think it's time everyone knew."

Unfortunately we have some stray chickens that live in the creek behind our house. Mind you we live in a subdivision in florida. We also have a rooster that has no clue what time it is. With me working nights and having to sleep during the day...Well let's just say it sucks to have a rooster on your fence crowing at 1PM...
I called animal control and the population of out of control chickens is so great, the city has a chicken round up 4 times a year... Can you say southern fried chicken LOL!!

Wow. My point exactly. After this fad, what will be of all the abandon chickens?
I know in Key West there were free roaming chickens all over the streets but they all seemed fine. They walked through the outdoor restaurants--ugh but still
