I'm always a little concerned when I read stories about people living such proximity of livestock, especially fowl. The primary reason so many strains of influenza get started in the far east is due to the fact that it's fairly common for people to live in very close proximity to livestock.

In fact, most backyard chickeners will tell you a rooster is not a good thing. Not only are they noisy, they're kinda mean. Roosters are not necessary.

One of the items I found in an old house I owned was a can labeled "egg preserver". I have no idea what had been in it, but I'm glad we don't have to use something like that today. Chickens in the city? Aren't roosters necessary? Oh please, no roosters in our neighborhood! The barking dogs and leaf blowers are bad enough.

Unfortunately we have coyotes in the neighborhood so it's a bit risky to say the least. Maybe some day with more fencing. Oh, I so want chickens.
