for chicken fans


card from dandylion press

last night i went with my housemate to a garden for the environment evening of film shorts about homesteading, led by these folks. (the event included home brewed beer, homemade bread, singalongs and a goat bleating impersonation contest.)

this short film from these homesteaders' website is about a community egg co-op. i would SO go in on one of these if i knew of one around here. maybe we'll have to start one...

and this is an article about how artist hope sandrow ran into a rooster one day and how that meeting changed her life. it's a charming story with great photos.

i had read of a wonderful egg co-op up in portland prior to our getting chickens. i would have loved to do it this way... but zoning made it hard. we still dream of getting a coop at our neighbourhood elementary school going - this would be the approach to take.
