final destination as it is with human friends and family. Still a terribly bad idea to eat your wife while she's young and oblivious, even with her explicit consent, or kill your pet chicken in front of your other pets. But what a little lamb doesn't know can't hurt it, even if your family prefers cigarettes to veal and trades the dearly beloved remains for cold hard cash. Don't painlessly kill your ignorant children's pets to feed them without asking, though, that's just cruel. And never straightforwardly eat your children, even if you're broke and starving (you'll come back as a sea lion, and not the cute California kind).

The original author is saying he was "given the okay" a year ago, but since then no new content that is not duplicative has been added. 1012:
chickens are. You meet one raised in prison, she'll let you touch her simply because she's too dumb to appreciate the difference between legitimate affectionate contact and everyday tactile pressure. You meet one raised in the fighting pits, don't trust him around your pets, farm animals

The section "Chickens as pets" fitted just fine in the article. Only recently did you remove half of it and put it here. Other than what you just took from the main article, which fits just fine there, there's nothing in this article that isn't a good fit inside other pages.

I do think that this should remain split as its own article. This information should really be branched off from the chicken article since it has enough content to be on its own and the topic does not really belong as a giant section in the main chicken article.

This needs to change. There needs to be a little more description about chickens as companions. It needs to talk about the qualities and behavior of a chicken, and why they stand out as a pet. Like, how to care for them indoors.

I asked if i could create the article on the Chicken article and they said yes. I dont know why new content needs to be added in order to keep the article, i removed most of the main article stuff to put it in here.
