There is just so much a girl doesn't learn when she grows up off the farm. It won't come to kicking in these parts, however, as it is a violation of City code to keep a rooster (which is why attachment won't be <del>a problem</del> a consideration).

I've lived in the vicinity of chickens before, and I remember the stink. A word to the wise: if you do end up with a rooster, and choose for some reason (say, attachment) to keep that rooster, the best way to deal with a rooster that's chasing or harassing you is to kick him in the chest – not quite hard enough to send him sailing across the yard, but hard enough to tell him that you mean it. It may sound cruel, as we've (mostly) all been brought up to believe that kicking animals is wrong, but it works, and they can take it. Believe me; I was afraid of a young rooster who harassed me the entire summer I lived at the Murphys' camp, until someone showed me precisely how to kick the offending fowl in a way that would make him leave me the hell alone. The rooster was no worse for the wear, and I was no longer afraid. The peacock, on the other hand, was another story... Oh, I’m so glad they arrived after I left.
