In PDX, would love to interview people about experience w/ chickens.

[skyza]

Hi I'm Sky and I am a student who is currently working on a literary research journal. I have a few neighbors who have chickens but I would like to interview people who I do not have a close connection with who live in other community areas around PDX. Some things I would love to hear about are:

1. Do you know anyone who is against backyard chickens?
2. Why do you have chickens?
3. Approximately how many people do you know who have chickens?

If you'd like to be interviewed this is a very low stakes short interview, and I can bring cookies. Reach out if you'd like to share your opinion or experience!

Hi, I'm going to take a wild guess...is PDX Portland, Oregon? Seems I've seen that before. Anyway, thanks for joining and good luck with your project.

 

[Jenbirdee]

Oops, I forgot to answer your questions
One- nope
Two- they are fun pets with benefits (eggs!)
Three- in person probably about six, online several hundreds perhaps thousands

Hello Sky, and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.

I'm not near PDX, wherever that is.

 

[KaelaM]

PDX is Portland, OR.
I’m in Eugene, if you count that as close enough.

1. No
2. Got them as a kid and fell in love. They’re so fun to raise and are much smarter than people give them credit for.
3. 2

Welcome to BYC, Sky. I'm not near you, but you can ship my cookies to Texas.
1. No
2. My husband wanted them, and I took them over due to his health.
3. I only know 4 families that have chickens but I have a lot of byc friends that do.

Hi, welcome, thanks for joining!

Do you know anyone who is against backyard chickens?

No.

2. Why do you have chickens?

I got them on moving to MO from NM. In NM, there are no ticks. MO is like, wall to wall ticks. Ticks are no bueno in my world. So I got chickens. Bonuses: chickens are nice people, good neighbors, highly entertaining, and yeah, eggs! Also sometimes, meat.

3. Approximately how many people do you know who have chickens?

Ummmm... IRL? One family, I think. On BYC, everybody!
