Urban Chickens Nice article about urban chickens in USA Today. Unfortunately, gives more airtime to Iowa City Mayor Regenia Bailey and her odd concerns re: college students abandoning chickens and the decimation of the small farmer due to over-productive backyard egg-layers. wha?!

Urbanites, eager to scoop up flavorful organic eggs, are flocking to backyard chicken farming.

Hi. I'm interested in having some laying hens in my backyard. I'm seeking advise on how to start without spending too much. My whole reason for wanting the laying hens is to save on purchase cost as well as being green. I love the idea of knowing where my food comes from. And my kids and I find them so addirable. This ...is also a great way to teach my kids ways to be self sufficient. All comments are welcome. I need the urban chicken 101 class. I'm calling out to all urban chicken fans to help me. Thanks in advance for taking the time to help our family.Read More

Cheryl Cohen I love my chickens SO much.. I'm starting a new company that will feature chicken inspired items. Everything from clothing, drinkware, car mats, blankets, cards, stickers even shower curtains. You will be able to use our designs or we can help you design your own coop logo and you can put it on everything! Would anyone be interested??

Urban Chickens I so want to see this "chicken house of the future." What would your coop design include or omit? (Thanks to Mad City Chickens documentary for the link.)
