True story. About 15 years ago there was this little feed shoppe that also specialized in stuffing animals for hunters. I stopped in with my younger sister to show her a big bear that used to be in movies, that was now in the store.
They had these adorable little baby chickens, I think they were some kind of reds. The owner of the store proceeded to tell us how they have these great personalities, and follow you everywhere, and make great pets. But, the State law was that you had to buy 6 minimum because they become lonely. I only wanted one, but law was law. So I had to buy all 6, and came home and begged my husband to make me a pen. I had this whole design I wanted that looked like a little castle, names and everything picked out, collars, etc. We let them out and they were running all over, but always caught up with me like a little entourage. After a couple of days of this (no pen yet) I felt like I was being chickenstalkerotzied, and became afraid to go in my garage. Needless to say my little chicken fairy house did not materialize, and all chickens were quickly brought back to said store, where the owner was gracious enough to take them back.

Good luck getting the Health Dept. to do anything about it or animal control. Look at the rabid raccoon thread. My wife called everyone and they all passed the buck. By the way I have been talking for years about getting a pig because ya can only have dogs at a certain time, doesn't say anything about pigs. On a different subject, did ya see Buster Posey play every position for the Noles Baseball team on Sport Center?
