Being from a long line of chicken farmers, I generally support an organic, free range egg operation; however, I recognize that the complications involved in doing so in a town this size may make it impractical. In order to make the article more user-friendly, the author attempted to keep the prose at a 5th grade level. This effort was put forth in the hopes that Mr. Wrucke and friends would not have to continually reference a dictionary or thesaurus just to get through it (see Mr. Wrucke’s thesaurus complaint here: http://capecharleswave.com/2014/09/commentary-drowning-does-not-merit-bickering-and-finger-pointing/). We always aim to please.

As the chickens lure them in, capture them and send them to the shelters! Chicken coops with just a few chickens do not stink if they are maintained properly.

A lot of the lots are very narrow and if the owners of the property surrounding the yard that wants chickens are against the chickens then it should be no. Period. Chickens are going to draw foxes and even the feral cats to come and have a tasty dinner. If someone wants to raise chickens maybe they should go out in the county and buy a farm. Last time I checked chickens are farm animals. And no, I don’t care how they do it anywhere else. This is my town and I don’t want stinky chickens.

It would be a big draw for potential renters. And, for now, we could all house our poultry there and pay that lonely worker in the building to take care of them.

If someone wants organtic eggs, they can go to QUAIL COVE. That is were I get my eggs.
