I don't know...but this thread is helping me understand why my physician colleague who grew up there is intrigued by the idea of raising chickens in his affluent suburb back yard.

This not unusual. I use to live in an apartment building in Chicago and my upstairs neighbor started raising two chickens on his porch in the summer time. This guy was very well off and he thought that raising chickens in an aprtment would be really neat. At first they were kind of cute and funny. After a couple of weeks, it got to be very tiresome hearing them at the crack of dawn. This guy had the old school jibaro, mountain dweller mentality.

Funny, I was boarding a plane in SJ bound for DFW and a family was trying to board a flight with a few caged chickens. They didn't make it.

Similar... On the short flight to Vieques out of Fajardo/Ceiba and there was a father and son going back home with two roosters in burlap sacks. Maybe for the hen house but maybe Gallo del Cielo fighting stock.
