Time to Feed the Chickens
Farm City Fresh Eggs
When I first heard it myself, I had a lot of questions. Where will they be? On roofs, in parking lots, in central park? But Just Food has embarked on The City Chicken Project that will promote folks to raise hens for their eggs right here in the city. According to their site, the initiative aims to:
Baby Chickens in the Big City
· promote best practices and the benefits of raising chickens in the city,
· teach people how to build coops that are structurally sound and healthy for hens,
· publicize relevant city regulations and codes, and
· support gardeners who are interested in setting-up or expanding egg production operations.
Readers, what would YOU think if your neighbors had chickens?
A) Its a cute and fuzzy way for children to live closer to animals and a healthy choice towards sustainability? (Chicken production facilities are pretty foul…no pun intended!)
B) This is not the farm and the volume of a hen at say, 6 AM does not excite me so much.
C) I am curious and want more info before I decide on such important matters.
