[QUOTE="Allen, post: 367118, member: 389"] I think the biggest two arguments against having chickens in town are: 1. Someone is going to think roosters are fun. They are loud, obnoxious arseholes. If they can get away with it they'll be chasing someone's kids down the street. 2. Dogs, especially hunting dogs, will feel like they need to break the rules to go harass the chickens, even if they are in a chicken tractor. I'd suggest there will be more neighbor conflicts as chickens bait dogs into bad behavior. Heck, my dog has spent almost his entire life around the chickens and for the love of all that's holy, I can't break him of killing them. He won't bother them when I'm around, but if we're all three (dog, chickens, and I) out in the yard...it's just a matter of time before he plucks one. I was able to train my earlier GSPs to leave them alone, but Reckless is an a-hole to chickens by birth. [/QUOTE]
