4/10/13 - Urban Chicken Coop

I just had an epiphany. As we’ve been talking a lot recently about home-grown eggs from backyard chickens, a lot has been on my mind about it. I have been thinking more and more about that idea, if feasible and possible when I am out living on my own, how I might actually be able to have chickens and grow my own eggs…along with all the other benefits. Ironically, today, I found a magazine in our house opened up to a chicken coop idea/project titled, “The Skeptic’s Guide to the City Chicken.” I think the title totally fits how most city-dwelling Americans think of chickens (“their place is not in the city.”). Although I personally think it would be more valuable to someone to handcraft their own coop, the ideas portrayed in the article are really interesting and I’d like to share. It’s definitely something cool that I came across and I think it is really awesome how it was right in line with one of our most recent discussions in class about chickens and home-grown eggs.
