Our neighbors either learned how to love the sound of a hen laying an egg on Sunday morning, or they moved out. When I go to my mom's house, she always has a bag of eggs for me (if there are any extra). If you're into chickens, take a look at the film "The Natural History of the Chicken". By the way, I grew up in Venice/Mar Vista. I grew up with chickens, ducks, dogs, cats, turkeys, and a bunch of other animals.

My brother had a prize rooster that he used to train for the county and state fair. One day, some family friends were visiting and their 3-year-old son wandered to the coop to say good-bye to the animals and that rooster leaped at him with his little claws. It went straight for the boy's eyes! Luckily it missed. We had a good meal that night, though. I stayed away from the gallos after that.

We lived on the hillside up on Clifton St. so I built some coops in our back yard and had them for about a year or so. We always had plenty of eggs, but every now and then one of the chickens would end up having chicks and there were way too many to take care of so we started giving them away. Hearing the roosters sing late at night and early in the mornings always was a pleasing sound to me. Now when I hear them it always brings back childhood memories. I wish my kids could experience some of the things I got to do as a kid that were so simple, yet very fulfilling. I had chickens as a kid as well.

Martha Stewart's magazine features articles on raising chickens and I know at least three white suburbanites with coops in their yards. I guess that's keeping in line with Edible Estates (sorry to make you retch). Pollitos are already trendy among white upper-class people.
