web-goddess: Chooks.

Wednesday, November 19, 2008

"The New Coop de Ville: The craze for urban poultry farming." When I went to pick up our veggie box last week, I asked Michael (of Sustainable House fame) whether he kept chickens. He did! He showed me them clucking away in the narrow strip of space alongside the house. He was actually chucking veggie scraps to them straight out the kitchen window! I confessed that I had long been fascinated by Rentachook, which is where he gets his from. Snookums and his mother have tried many times to talk me out of this wild idea. I know that they're tiny dinosaurs and that I'm afraid to touch them. I know that they pretty stupid as far as pets go. I know that they'll poop all over and dig up the garden. I can't help it - I still think it's such a cool idea!

Chooks are cool! They are fun to watch, they turn food scraps into compost, and they lay bum nuts. What's not to love?
