The S&P 500 suffered its worst week since
September last week, falling 3.1%, as the
“Trump bump” that followed his election has
turned into the “Trump slump.” All of the
gains that markets enjoyed after he won in
November have now evaporated.
When every apartment renter in New York has a chicken as idjt
suggest, will they have clean up the chickenshit on the sidewalk
during their daily walkies?
I have been in neighborhoods where
backyard chickens were the norm.
Also the norm: Roving bands of foxes,
coyotes, badgers, hawks and other
carnivores that feed on chickens.
Don't mind chickens - but ROOSTERS are a lot
more disruptive. Eventually you start hoping
for a tac-nuke strike or meteor ......
As for predators - they're everywhere anyway.
Coyotes are now normal in suburban areas all
across the USA. Hawks are PROTECTED ... and
can travel long distances ... ain't gonna cut
into their pop. Badgers, um, maybe in a FEW
areas of the country. Fox are as widespread
as coyotes, just quieter so you maybe don't
notice them as much.
Awhile back, some Russians put effort into
breeding fox for 'domestication', eventually
creating a 'fog ?' that looked and acted a
lot more like a dog. Cute and friendly.

As for the CURRENT egg prob - it really truly IS
the damned virus. The practice of killing entire
massive flocks if even one chik gets the disease
has NOT been effective - and has driven up egg
and general chicken-stuff prices considerably.
Where I'm at is, or at least was until the latest
suburban-sprawl surge, 'farm country'. I hear
it all and the chicken/egg farmers are FRUSTRATED
by the damned virus.
The 'kill them all' policy is also very bad from
a Darwinian perspective - frustrates the growth
of a naturally-resistant population. To the vast
konspiracy theorists that LOOKS like Joe was
deliberately out to destroy the domestic farmers,
maybe in favor of Canada or even Mexico.
