They are utterly ridiculous animals. We have four, getting a bit long in the beak now, but it's fitting because we named them after The Golden Girls.
Mr. The Codewitch argues with them. I didn't want them at first, but I've grown fond of them.
Except Blanche. The hussy.

I agree. Chickens are great. We have few ourselves. Not as pets though, hard to eat a pet.

20 years ago, the Norwegian Minister of Agriculture expressed the same idea, except that we still call hens 'hens', not chicken - that is for these fluffy, yellow down balls. In a broadcasted political debate about the shortage of eggs, he expressed his opinion that 'Every man should have his own hen'.
There is only one hitch: In Norwegian slang, 'hen' is a term for a female c**t.
To me, it appears as if the ambiguity was unintentional, but if you know Norwegian, you can judge by yourself: Lars Sponheim: - Hver mann sin høne (10.03.2004)[^] (crossing my fingers that the YouTube clip is available in your location)

What about eggs? Do you get eggs, or do you need a rooster around to at least get them started? When I was a wee lad, we had chickens, and a rooster, and of course eggs. The rooster, though, was not my mum's favourite beast, but she did say that he was the best tasting chicken she'd ever had. AFAIK, we still got the eggs, even after the rooster was gone.

Nah, you don't need a rooster.  In fact, if you have rooster you'll get chicks instead of eggs for eating.
We can't keep a rooster in city limits and they're noisy and often aggressive anyway.
One of our chickens, Sophia is dying today. Organ failure from old age, so we'll bury her in the back yard because we're those people.

When I was a kid, my grandfather (living next door on his farm) had chickens, and you could always count on the roosters to tell you the time, first thing in the morning.
Decades later I swear my neighbor had a rooster that couldn't tell the time, as he was noisiest at 4 in the afternoon.

Here on our ranch, we havae about a dozen hens (unfortunately, a coyote got our rooster. Then the dogs got the coyote.) We have lots of free breakfast eggs and make a little money selling the extra eggs.

Mr. The Codewitch used to trade them to the coffee stand staff for cappuccinos back when he worked at the local hospital.
If the chickens ever found out we profited off of their labor they'd probably unionize.

The only live animals that I want in my house are children. Any dead animals had better be going on my plate.
(In order to keep the peace in the family, I agreed to a dog. It grows on one; I can't imagine a worse fate.  )

I just recieved a "TV mini box"* and it works fine - except it doesn't have the main free channels: BBC1, BBC2, ITV, and Channel 4 (and probably others). Channel 5 is there, but not the ones before it. So checking online I need to look at the TV settings, and there is a button "Update Channels". No, there isn't. Just some info on how many channels I have, and a single "Done" button. The main box is connected to the same router via the same Wifi and has 'em all ... but not the new box.
So I go to the supplier site, and look in the help, and it says to click the "Update Channels" button that doesn't exist so I go to tech support and find the "contact us" button. Move the mouse over that, and ... the button appears on the TV. 
Click it, and the channels appear.
I think I scared it into working ...
* I junked Sky back in January in favour of a "streaming only" TV service for 1/2 the price and twice the reliability, and just got sent a box to work in a second room

I had something similar happen.
We have an eufy outdoor camera that started to only last 1 day after charging as if the lithium battery was needing replacement and the camera would just say "offline" in the app. Word on the interweb is that you're not going to get at the battery but there are two screws on the back so let's start there said I. I extracted the first screw and my wife exclaimed at that moment, "It's back!" - no kidding. And furthermore it says it's fully charged so I took it back it it's station on the porch.

Interesting. I recently bought a couple of a Eufy cameras. Haven’t had the battery issue yet. I’ll try to remember your note if it happens.
But I did find that if I blocked them from internet access (limited them to LAN only) they’d go offline within an hour or so.
