Food Fights: The Biggest Culinary Scandals Of 2011
I keep four delightful chickens in my backyard for their plentiful fresh eggs and overall charm as pets. Here in Portland, Oregon, backyard chickens are somewhat in vogue, and I subscribe to a lively Yahoo! group dedicated to all that is urban chicken farming. (No. We don't eat our chickens. Because I knew you would ask.)Yesterday, one of its members, Lori, gathered some eggs from her Ameraucana, and boiled them up for breakfast. Imagine her surprise when she peeled one that had cracked in the pan -- the perfect image of the Virgin Mary!
Lori's trying to figure out if she can preserve the egg. In the meantime, let us know what you think: is God once again speaking to us from our food? And is he reminding us how we should all treat our chickens better? I think so.

And here in the dreaded South, your neighbors are just as likely to have a backyard full of chickens as not. I know the ones next door gleefully wake me everydamnday at 5am with their cackling.

I didn't see the treatment chickens in the Bible except in the Old Testament on which animals to eat as clean or unclean. It looks like an eskimo to me or a cartoon from Sprout. You could call the Wonderpets or the Backyardigans and ask their opinion.
