Awww, I love this! It sounds like you've developed strong bond with your chicken that's very special. I'm originally from Jamaica and before we migrated to the US, I remember my Dad used to raise chickens. I have no idea how we would do that now living in the suburbs of Houston. Thanks for sharing your pics as well. BTW, I've never heard of a shell-less egg!
I think they allow hens there! You just get a coop and some chickens and a portion of yard for them! Haha boom done! Lots of people have chickens in towns and stuff. You should get them! Hehe I'm definitely an advocate for chicken owning! Heheh
