Stefani- It will be an interesting development to see how people respond to more urban livestock.

Diana- PLEASE tell me if you get the hogs. I would love to know how it goes.

Thanks for the heads up on the Guinea Hogs! I am looking forward to having my first poultry in the Spring and have enjoyed reading your blog for some time now. It’s funny what you mention about Susan Orlean, because actually I was going to start with three chickens, then five or six ducks and then two goats!

That video she talks about is incredibly weird! I think many many more people are going to keep birds than are now. On the other hand, there were many negative responses to someone who was asking about keeping chickens from people who had lived near chicken owners and were horrified at the noise.

They do make noise, even hens, and people are going to have to deal with it as they have with dogs, I suppose.

How I ramble on. . .
