Berea Chicken Brigade
Thursday, December 31, 2009 at 12:54PM This post is about Chickens and Sisters. I recently got back from a trip to visit my two sisters in Kentucky.
My sister Katie (an avid gardener) has owned goats, rabbits, and dogs, but at her new home in town, she really wants to own chickens. Gardeners know how very beneficial chickens are to have around your garden, and foodies know how superior fresh, organic eggs are compared to commercial, store-bought ones. And laying hens- the quieter, less obtrusive of the sex, really don't make much noise. But because of a city ordinance banning chickens, she can't keep any. It is worthwhile to note that her town values sustainability and has many progressive projects in place already (so I'm confident she will get the support she needs to turn the rules around!)... but her reason for starting Berea Chicken Brigade is to not only help get chickens into her backyard, but yours as well. Her site will serve as a meeting place and resource center for other chicken-lovers in the same predicament.
So visit her site, follow it on twitter, friend it on facebook! We chicken lovers must stick together :)

Hello, I've been trying to find some fencing for my rabbit so that she can come out of her cage when I am not home. I went to home depot but could not find the right kind of fencing I'm looking for. I searched online and happened to stumble across your post about your rabbit and how you got a picket fence for her. I was wondering where you were able to purchase the fencing and also if you could email me a picture. Thanks so much! :)
