Fine Feathers in your Backyard


It has been awhile since I posted about raising your own chickens....

This couple is trying to overturn Imperial Beach's ban on urban chickens, which is happening all around the country. See Urban Chicken Ordinances.

For more great
 information see Urban Chickens.




They are great entertainment and they really do make the best eggs ever!

Chicken fanatics

I am not the only chicken lover. Come to find out there is a resurgence in urban chicken owners. Perhaps the idea of $3.50 a dozen for organic free range eggs is too much. Chickens are really a lot of fun to have around. I am surprised by it and joke to my husband about chicken TV being better.
  • Urban Chicken Underground
  • She is creating a movement.



    The Midwest is experiencing a resurgence in urban chicken pet owners and people are trying to change city ordinances across the US to allow pet chickens. Backyard Poultry went defunct in the 1980's and now boasts of over 50,000 in readership. Articles are everywhere like this one:
  • Man's New Best Friend
  • Now let me clarify, you do not need a roster to have eggs so this is just the quiet girls that people want to have in their backyards and voila eggs! Howver Urban Chicken has a great point that they are not louder than dogs!
