chicago-suburban areas did you notice the article in the Chicago Tribune - Sunday 2-19-12 edition  regarding an Oak Park lady  who is an "urban chicken consultant,".  Nice article and accompanying video  at:  www.chicagotribune.com/chicken-help

 

 Seems like more will be in demand in urban areas - chickens may end up being # 1 pet in America- step aside puppies and kittens

Try to come to our 8th Annual Homesteading Weekend this June.  We're planning a BYC meet up then!



Cyndi, you might remember me as Greenhaven from Homestead.org.  We got together once at canning time, but it was several years ago and I know you see a lot of faces at your place! big_smile.png

 

Oh, and darn it, where can I find info about the get-together??  I'm just a little slow this weekend...
