I heard this yesterday on NPR, it is about the growing trend towards urbanites & suburbanites raising chickens in their backards (and how towns are responding). Includes interviews with "outlaw" chicken farmers.
Hey Jennifer, I just posted a topic very similar to this on the farm blog a day or two ago. Even in big bad ole New York City, we have chickens amongst the skyscrapers
Count me in as an outlaw! But my neighbors don't mind, since I share eggs with them. :) Things are moving slowly in the changing the ordinace movement here. No one will even respond to my queries!! So, I take their silence as approval and carry on. lol I am copying this to send to our county commissioners. That should stir them up.
