Background in chickens

There it is in the Nov. 7 Herald. I have been maligned or misunderstood, or taken too literally; whatever, by Bob Brenner. So, I now feel a need to defend myself about, of all things, chickens.

Mr. Brenner really knows nothing about me. I have never met him, that I remember. I do, Mr. Brenner, know a few things about chickens. It all started as a child in Oklahoma as a 4-H project; a dozen White Leghorns that produced wonderful, large eggs and a fryer or two. After appreciating that, my parents went on to raise and harvest 200 “White Rock” chicks each year for several years. Know that their care and maintenance was on my chore list. We had chicken every Sunday, traded eggs for milk and fed a large family quite well. And, yep, we kept a few hens (females, that is) and got eggs without a rooster (male, that is)!
