What? what? I remember when there were no supermarkets, To buy
chicken one went to a live chicken market... I can still recall the
schtink... to a butcher shop that sold whole previously cleaned
chicken... live chicken markets were plentiful in NYC. Or they went
to a chicken farmer for butchered chicken. At that time there were
many farms in NYC... as kids we would steal fruit and vegetables.
There are lots of chicken farms where I live, one can buy eggs or meat
chickens... when chickens stopped laying they became meat chickens...
I have many neighbors who raise their own chickens for eggs, meat, and
for sale as extra income. They also raise guinea hens, turkeys,
ducks, and other poultry, like old soup chickens and roosters.
