Would SWAT teams be descending on every backyard with a chicken coop?
Man, we had chickens (and roosters) growing up...in a city block. Nothing ever came of it. Free eggs, don’t remember if dad ever killed a chicken for meat.
We even had 2 pet ducks...

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if your Momma took care of that while you kids were in school and Pop was at work.
