Sometimes...We Wish We Could Have Chickens


 Back where we used to live, we could have raised chickens. We had enough land to have chickens, but we never pulled the trigger. There were times we thought about raising goats or other animals. We did not have enough land for that.

When we found the area where we wanted to move, we revisited the "maybe we should get chickens" idea. The new area is even more of a rural area than where we lived. Lots of chickens, horses, goats, sheep, even llamas up here. We found a house with enough land to put up a chicken coop (maybe one similar to that found in the picture...).

Problem...

One of the rules for the subdivision is: no chickens.

Raising chickens is like other things that require time and effort. Before, I kept thinking about what would be do with the chickens if we were to go out of town for a week. We'd need to get someone to take care of the animals when we were gone. The funny thing is, if we had gotten chickens at the old house, we'd never have to get anyone to watch the chickens because we really never left for any extended period of time. Now, that chance is over.

No more chickens.
