Today’s Morning Call featured a letter from a person concerned about the Bethlehem City Council’s discussion of backyard chickens. She claimed that chickens caused epidemics like bird flu and other health problems. (Rabies was not mentioned.) What caught my eye was this statement: “Many of us have dogs and chickens would prompt the dogs to bark or attack the chickens.”
First of all, why are your dogs running loose? Second, barking is far more annoying than chickens clucking. Take care of any noise problem simply by banning roosters.
I have been bitten by large dogs and pecked by hens on the nest. Dog bites are worse.
