I am very fortunate as I have never had a bad one yet. Both in Phoenix and in San Diego having lived in a specific areas where chickens are "forbidden" I have had great success raising the often NOISY and sometimes CROWING chickens. Yes, giving out free eggs surely helps with our cause. So does watching their dogs when they get loose. Helping with lending "any and all my tools repeatedly" and generally committing acts of kindness/goodness will help others look past the chickens and the quail.
