Going Trad (Jen Sorensen)
(lemmus.org)
I’ve been curious about the homesteading movement for a long time, albeit from a non-tradwife perspective. For a few years I subscribed to Mother Earth News, whose pages of solar panel installations and gardening tips filled my head with pastoral fantasies. (It’s possible that growing up in rural Pennsylvania planted a seed of affection for farm life, even though I suspect I would be terrible at it.) So I have nothing against people who decide to abandon the corporate world, or soulless suburbs, to live close to the land. I’m just not so into oppressive gender roles and unpasteurized milk.
Chicken are 100% pro.
But they sure are messy and needy
so is my gf, but my gf doesn't poop breakfast
Not with that attitude!
are promoting eating shite, or you want me to date a. chicken?
Why not both?
i need something stronger than blocking people, do you know how can I hire a hitman for cheap?
For sheep? We're talking about chickens here!
definitelynotafed dot hitmansrus dot gov has a lot of them
Not in this economy!
not with that attitude
Your gf's a chick
Tell me you never had actual chickens
For real. Actually keeping them healthy and happy is a large job. It isn't just "give them food, water, and shelter then get free eggs". It becomes more of a job when you have enough of them to actually produce enough eggs etc. to rely on.
Friends of ours raise chickens. Sometimes we get free eggs. It's the best of both worlds.
Just like boats and cottages, best to have a friend with one than own one yourself.
And swimming pools!
Agreed, although I could see an argument for roosters. However, I love mine.
if you luck into one that doesn't scream all damn day, awesome. otherwise, i get not allowing them in city limits
