I've written an article offsite about the very basics of keeping backyard chickens: Backyard Chicken Coops: An Urban Surprise (this isn't necessarily the final form--think of it as a 3rd or 4th draft, though I don't anticipate major changes). (There are links back to BYC in the article, if that's an issue.) I would love to have a photo from someone here on BYC for it! I do need to double-check with the powers-that-be over there how permissions and such would work...
But, heck, even if it falls through on that end, looking at pictures is fun, anyway
What I'm looking for is a picture that shows an urban/suburban coop/flock. I'd like something that makes it clear that the birds aren't far out in the country--a sidewalk adjoining, a city skyline in the background, something like that. My own surroundings won't work--no sidewalks, and we're surrounded by forested dead-end streets. And my coop is only interesting to chicken-folks (the article is written for non-chicken people). A flock that includes a silkie, a frizzled anything, or a colorful hen would be a plus.
Thanks!

I forgot to mention that photos either need to have no people in them, or else the people need to be easy to crop out
