Chicken Revolution
Chickens In The Yard (C.I.T.Y.)
Check out a new website called Community Chickens, a joint effort by Grit Magazine & Mother Earth News.

I will be contributing to the website's blog on a regular basis on the topic of legalizing backyard chickens.

Read my first blog called "Even My Mother Gets It" about helping skeptics understand the concept of urban chicken keeping.

Future blog articles will include:

How to tell the difference between pets and livestock.

Clever tactics used by city officials to dodge the dreaded chicken issue.

Springing into action when the code compliance officer knocks on your door.

Dogs or chickens? You don't have to choose.
