Another Kind of Chicken Coop
by Sami Grover, Carrboro, NC, USA on 04. 3.08
We’re all about CSA’s and community gardens here at TreeHugger, but this might be the first time we’ve come across a community co-operative specifically dedicated to keeping chickens. Run by a group of urbanites in Portland, Oregon, the co-operative was formed to supply eggs to its members, and to a local CSA. This video came to us via Cookingupastory, the same folks who brought us video last week of dairy farmers encouraging birdlife as a natural form of pest control.
