A lazy sunday--or how meta is this?

A while back my wife and I saw, probably on PBS, a show called The Natural History of the Chicken. We found it very entertaining and affecting in a way too. Now this weekend I read a story in The New Yorker by Susan Orlean which was inspired by the same show and where she writes about getting chickens.

Now I am writing about that and sort of halfway considering getting some,- point of lay hens. It is probably a bad idea since we have coyotes, foxes, raccoons, hawks, owls and our own little dog--all of whom would love to eat or at least chase chickens.

On the plus side, it would give me a lot of material for blogging.
