Chickenlicious!

Which came first colored by Fang Friends.JPG Spring is supposedly descending on the New England area. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, this season correlates with transformation and growth. Whew, all that change sure gets a person hungry. Fortunately, chickens are here to help you with that.

Want to raise and kill your own chicken? My Pet Chicken offers an excellent Breed Selector Tool.

Want "Live Poultry, Fresh Killed?" Visit Mayflower Poultry Company at 621 Cambridge St, Cambridge. Because readers need to know, this company also sells tshirts and gstrings featuring the motto. Consider visiting Ming Kee at 54 Kneeland St in Boston or Ming Wings Live Poultry at 48 Beach St in Boston. Alternatively, many feed and seed stores sell chicks. Yahoo Groups has a Belmont Chickens email list; some sources have indicated that Arlington residents are joining also. For fast food that doesn't require raising the critters, the Boston offers other alternatives. These stores also sell eggs. Alternatively, visit Boston Locovores to learn about farms and other local poultry suppliers.

Live in an apartment? Worry not. The folks at the Yahoo group House Chickens will encourage readers to keep these critters, which lack the muscles to control excretionary processes, in the home. (Yet another example of the crazy things white people will do for a cheap thrill.) Want to lament about the empty coop (spiritual, psychological, psychadelic, or otherwise) in your life? Consider throwing $76 away and join the Boston Pet Chicken Meet Up group. Just remember not to share any plans to eat the said pets. Eating animals is only okay if they aren't pets.
