Tuesday - 2004-06-07 13:32:52 Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one to think that this is wrong, not to mention wasteful. And who wants to eat anything made by a chicken with a human gene? Ugh.* * * * * * * * * * * * raymond - 2004-06-07 15:09:41 we used to have as many as 30 chickens running around raising hell and procreating. the chickens had wild genes. dogs, owls, coons, possums, hawks, and we-don't-know-what (the slithus?) ate them up or carried them away over the past decade. now we have but one tough old rooster who would be happier if he had some hens to pester. no frankenchickens needed here though.* * * * * * * * * * * * Eric - 2004-06-07 15:22:06 I, for one, would like to welcome our genetically-altered, poultry overlords.* * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2004-06-07 15:24:51 OK, I grudgingly admit it--I had to laugh at your comment Eric.* * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2004-06-07 16:05:54 and Raymond, I think it would be great to have a bunch of chickens floating around. If I weren't in residential zoning I'd get some in a minute...so you're lucky in my book.* * * * * * * * * * * * Hillary - 2004-06-07 16:19:59 http://www.med.umich.edu/tamc/* * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2004-06-07 16:38:08 Wow. I had no idea they were churning out transgenic mice & rats! Sounds like quite a moneymaker. Thanks Hillary.* * * * * * * * * * * * raymond - 2004-06-07 18:14:28 in 1933 chicken thieves attempted to tunnel into a henhouse on oak street in ypsilanti. a concrete floor thwarted the crooks' attempt. chicken thievery flourished in town and country in ypsi's 30s.* * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2004-06-07 18:52:17 That's wild...I wouldn't mind reading more on that. I suppose they represented an all-too-rare good meal to Depression-era people desperate to provide something for their family. Wish the twp. would allow them--three chickens (no noisy rooster) would make a heck of a lot less mess than my dog.* * * * * * * * * * * * Hillary - 2004-06-07 19:53:53 Are you sure you can't have chickens? There's a horse on Ford Blvd.* * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2004-06-07 20:05:28 There's a horse on Ford Blvd?! Dangit, I ripped my map out of the phonebook...Urban chicken experts advise would-be owners to: 1. just quietly ask your neighbors if they'd mind, most won't 2. keep them in a big pen, one with an open bottom so they can scratch the grass, not just let them roam around (in the city, anyways). 3. buy unusual breeds that don't really resemble chickens.* * * * * * * * * * * * raymond - 2004-06-08 08:10:43 ypsi twp permits one horse per 1st four acres, one per each additional acre. re: asking neighbors about having chickens, including noisy roosters, which came first, the neighbors or the chickens? the neighbors shoulda asked the rooster if they could move next door by the hundreds with their genetically altered houses, lawns, vehicles, fireworks, and progeny. * * * * * * * * * * * * kljdksjf;asjfkl;a - 2004-06-09 07:32:29 Georgina Clifford,* Govenment don't want me to sell UndergroundCD !Check Your spouse and staff Investigate Your Own CREDIT-HISTORY hacking someone PC!Get a new passport!
