The teeny feathers that make the air seem thick and the sheer volume of guano chickens can put out is impressive, though. In a bad way.
And true that about roosters crowing about nothing in particular all the damn time. #urbanfarms

We also had sheep, rabbits, dogs, and cats, and we'd milk my grandparents' cows every night, and my cousins who lived in Iowa had pigs, and none of their shit made me want to vomit quite as much as chicken poo did. #urbanfarms

Maybe it's like how cilantro tastes fine to some people and to others it's like leafy green poison. #urbanfarms

You don't need a rooster unless you want fertile eggs, though. #urbanfarms

Maybe you can buy a box of chicks that are all females, but I bet they aren't easy to find. #urbanfarms

how much of these types of problems are due to the EU being formed. I hear about problems with workers traveling from country to country getting jobs throughout and that causes racism and immigrant related problems, but what about farming? is there a lot of import from other countries that would keep the prices below what the German farmers can support?

The CAP combines a direct subsidy payment for crops and land which may be cultivated with price support mechanisms, including guaranteed minimum prices, import tariffs and quotas on certain goods from outside the EU. Reforms of the system are currently underway reducing import controls and transferring subsidy to land stewardship rather than specific crop production (phased from 2004 to 2012). Detailed implementation of the scheme varies in different member countries of the EU.
Until 1992 the agriculture expenditure of the European Union represented nearly 49% of the EU's budget. By 2013, the share of traditional CAP spending will have almost halved (32%), following a decrease in real terms in the current financing period. In contrast, the amounts for the EU's Regional Policy represented 17% of the EU budget in 1988. They will more than double to reach almost 36% in 201"
