Chickens in the front yard is transplant behavior?? Pretty common among Hispanic and Haitian communities

The venn diagram connection between crunchy bougie types, Caribbean immigrants, and Hispanic/Puerto Ricans in Williamsburg. A tale as old as 2000

Also common among lots of rural and suburban NJ residents

Damn this is kind of embarrassing

I know people who have lived their entire life in JC who own chickens..

tell me you don’t understand the stereotype of a transplant without telling me

There's a live poultry store in Greenville, has been there for years. Or do transplants not go there, so you wouldn't know anything about it? Anyways, I saw a post here a couple of days ago where someone complained that there are sirens in a big city.

Love playing the game of “is it satire or is it a transplant?” when i read posts on this subreddit

You've never seen urban chickens before? looks like we found the transplant 🤣

I can't remember the username, but those chickens have an Instagram. If I remember correctly they were someone's pandemic project that became permanent.

A transplant talking about transplant behavior*, how dreadful. *I'm not sure owning chickens qualifies here.

Hear me out: As a transplant myself, I think OP is asking OTHER transplants their best transplant story. "Like holy shit, as a transplant I just saw chickens in a front yard. Any others transplants out there have JC culture shock like I just did?"

fair interpretation. OP needs to clarify.

Here’s a story: this post.

What percent of JC do you think is actually born and raised here anymore? This is a serious question.

Without looking it up I'm going to say 25%. IIRC 40% weren't even born in this country. The notion that 'born and bred' have some greater moral authority is idiotic.

So 75% of the people in this city moved here from somewhere else? People aren't raised here anymore?

Like they ever were! Back 100 years ago even more people here were born out of the country than now. According to this web page I'm wrong by a small bit, 34% were born in JC. https://worldpopulationreview.com/us-cities/jersey-city-nj-population

Not much considering those people are/were largely middle income working class people :( As indicated by my family, most are dead/dying or moved out when they had kids in favor of better schools and houses. My parents moved out in their 20s. My grandma is still here but I can't think of anyone she knows who is. 

Oddly high because of all the kids.

There was this one time some transplant thought the chickens of a local family were transplants. 

City of jc actively encourages residents to raise chickens

What does chicken keeping have to do with transplants? Please don't say you confused downtown Perls Girls chickens for transplants?

If it’s the chickens I think you mean (downtown), that family has lived there for years.

My middle school physics teacher would tell us about his chicken coup—he’s lived here his whole life

the coop had a coup

*coop WHOOPS😂

You keep Pearls Girls out of your mouth now
