How to raise chickens - http://www.sunset.com/home...

"Our goal was garden-fresh eggs ― blue- or buff-shelled ones with deep yellow yolks, tender whites, and rich flavor. So we installed a coop in a corner of Sunset’s test garden, then bought six baby chicks whom we named Alana, Ophelia, Charlotte, Honey, Carmelita, and Ruby. Even before they were old enough to lay, our flock brought unexpected delights: their antics as tiny cheeping fluff balls; their distinct personalities as squawky adolescents; the way their soft clucking made the garden seem more alive." - Derrick from Bookmarklet

But we soon learned that there’s much more to keeping chickens than providing them shelter and food. Unlike with kids, you can’t discipline a chicken. They knocked over their food dishes seemingly for sport and nibbled junk food ― straw, wood shavings, bits of string. (We learned to keep such materials out of their pen.) Cleaning out their coop and filling and hauling 8-gallon... more... - Derrick

I would love to live in an area where I could raise chickens. Eggs are probably one of my favorite all time foods, and the thought of fresh eggs every day is awesome. - Derrick

I imagine they'd be cool in Austin, right? NOT THAT I'M SAYING ANYTHING. Or am I? *le sigh* - Derrick

Oh, I think chickens are hilarious, even if they can be mean. I took some pics of baby chicks just the other day. I saw them at the farm supply store when I went to get kibble for my kitties.

Raising chickens can be a real handful. We had a coop full of them that came with the rental when we lived in Cabo San Lucas, and it was a lot of work. Also, the rooster waking us up at five every morning didn't help. :D - Steven Perez

It’s an ideal situation for small deliveries.

When you're talking to an angry man armed with a gun and a badge you have whatever rights he feels like letting you have right then. There's not much point arguing constitutional rights to a police officer. Peacefully allow yourself to be arrested if you need to make a point. Take it up in the courts later. Hopefully you'll have some powerful friends and $$ and a lawyer. - iTad

This happens there too. I thought this was the case only in India. - Palak Mathur

So, if asked by a police officer to show identification, you are required by law to comply, but ask the officer for their identification and they can deny it. Sounds wrong to me. - Wizetux

Actually, they are required to show it if you ask. Otherwise you can't be guilty of resisting arrest if the officer won't prove he really is an officer and not an imposter impersonating one, and maybe trying to rob you. Where I live, women are told not to open their car window at night if they get pulled over by an "officer", any more than just a crack, enough to tell that "officer" to... more... - April

This is just sad. Seems to me if the cop wasn't going to do anything wrong he had no reason to not want the scene to be photographed. - ChiliMac

There's somethin' special about Texas law-men. Unless you are suspected of illegal activity, you are not required to show a police officer ID. This is called a Terry Stop. There is even a Texas case, I think it's Brown v Texas that specifically said as much (unless you're suspected of committing a crime). See also Hiibel v Nevada. - Anthony Citrano

I wonder about any requirement to show ID when there is no requirement to carry ID in the US. You carry a driver's license when you drive, but if you're not driving it's entirely feasible not to have ID on you. Failure to identify yourself though is a different story. - Dave Roth

@Dave: to your last sentence, it's functionally the same thing. Again, unless the officer has articulable facts about your possible criminal activity, SCOTUS has repeatedly upheld a law-abiding American's right to be left alone in this regard. This isn't (quite) a fascist state: “Papers, please!” - Anthony Citrano
