Bay Area Chicken Coop Review
About two weeks ago, reporter Laura Casey came over to check out our chickens and talk with me about what its like to raise urban chickens in the Bay Area.
Her article, Clucking about Backyard Chickens, made the Contra Costa Times yesterday. Ours is one of four backyard setups thats profiled in the piece.
Its nice to see the compare/contrast between different coop styles and how each of us got into urban chickens, but what I like most is Caseys quotes from each of us:
- "I havent been this happy for a long time. I needed them. I just come outside and smile and when they jump in my lap. Its great."
- "I never expected them to be so entertaining and it never gets old. When I get an egg I am so excited."
- "I like my children to know that not all food comes from cardboard and Styrofoam boxes. Its not all about the bright-colored packaging and the songs." (mine)
- "My husband is an interesting fella and he has interesting tastes," Debbie Flinker says, "and he thought chickens would be fascinating pets. They are."
(BTW, happy Fathers Day to all you dads out there)
