I don’t have a lot to say about this topic, except this - a quiet movement is afoot and I for one am a huge supporter. Check out this link - URBAN CHICKEN

Have you ever pulled out an old pair of jeans or a jacket you haven’t worn in a long time, reached into the pocket and found money?! Isn’t that one of coolest things?!!
We have 3 pet chickens. We’ve had them since about April and they hadn’t laid any eggs. Their sweet little lives were on thin ice. We weren’t going to keep feeding them if they weren’t going to ‘put out’. This is a two way deal - we feed them, they give us eggs. This isn’t brain surgery, it’s a simple farming principle. Well, you will all be relieved to hear that they finally started to lay eggs about a month ago. Yea!! We get one egg a day, every afternoon. I just love going down to their little pen and talking to them in that high pitched voice that’s reserved for babies and pets. “Hi girls, do you have an egg for me today? Awww, you’re such good girls. yes you are, yes you are….” you get the idea. . . so I peek into the little hen house and pick up that one precious little egg, throw some scratch in the pen and head back to the house.
So, the other day I pulled out a jacket from the closet that I hadn’t worn in a while…. a good week or so….. reached into the pocket… and pulled out an egg!!! oops!! guess I forgot to put it in the fridge…. man, I got a good laugh over it!!
