Great to see Erica Barnett over on the
WorldChanging web site has made "Get Chickens" the first item on her
New Year's Food Resolutions list:
Get chickens. OK, so I'm hardly the first urban dweller to harbor fantasies of raising chickens for farm-fresh eggs straight from my backyard--web sites such as Backyard Chickens, The City Chicken, Mad City Chickens, and many others have existed for years. Still, better late than never, right? Chickens are low-maintenance, cheap to care for, and a sustainable food source--the food miles from backyard chickens are literally nonexistent. As a bonus, chickens provide free (and organic!) fertilizer...
I wonder how many others have made raising Urban Chickens a priority in 2008?
