"Start-up costs were about $1,000, which leads her to joke that each egg will cost $14 for perhaps as the long as the chickens live, eight years or more."
$1000??? That's a bit insane. No way it would cost me that much. Of course, I'd scavenge (recycle!) wood for the coop, etc.
That does sound high even if she bought a years supply of feed to go with that coop. I like the coop. Wish I could make out the name on the side.
Sure is good though to see people enjoying the raising of chickens.
As for more freedom here, I am still planning on setting up a community information booth at Depot Days this September. I have the chicken tractor looking good, the chickens are ready and a number of pamphlets on urban farming in the works. All that is needed is a well writen petition for the citizens of Smyrna to sign and a council member willing to listen.
Cool video and article.
ReplyDeleteThis quote is funny:

I hope we get more freedom here soon.
