Backyard Chickens

Keeping chickens in the yard is an age old and mostly forgotten aspect of kitchen gardening. All over, people are relearning this fun relationship to their food and the joys and challenges that come along with it.

"Hey Folks; It's really nice to see all these comments. However, most of these comments are invitations for an interesting discussion. Please take questions and discussions to the discussion forum. Thanks much."

Kathleen Wilson commented on Chip Mefford's group 'Backyard Chickens'

"Hi All I saw this on the internet and since I just joined this group, thought I'd share. I live up in the mountains where I have had up to 5 feet of snow in the winter. So none of these coops would probably be adequate for me. Has anybody had…"

Scott Whitney commented on Chip Mefford's group 'Backyard Chickens'

"Hi Everyone, If you don't have a coop yet, now is a good time to build one! Your local farm store will probably be getting their chicks in pretty soon. Chickens are fun! Highly recommended."

Scott Whitney commented on Chip Mefford's group 'Backyard Chickens'

"Correction. Roosters are technically not allowed in Prescott. My mistake. But so far no problems with mine. Just keeping it in the coop until 8am so no one within earshot has an early wake up call. Knock on wood... so far, so…"

Bill Eichman replied to Chip Mefford's discussion 'Community and Small Wind Energy Conference' in the group Transition Towns State College

"Hmmm, I wonder if they are going to have any evening things, or where the presenters are going to hang out in the evenings. Maybe I can find out."

Scott Whitney replied to Chip Mefford's discussion 'We are now about to enter the heart of winter' in the group Backyard Chickens

"HI Caren, I forgot to mention I have visible light (CFL) also on a timer to extend their day until about 7:30pm. Today, I unplugged the heat lamp and replaced with with infared LED (no visible light) so I can still see my birdies in the…"

Titanic Lifeboat Academy replied to Chip Mefford's discussion 'We are now about to enter the heart of winter' in the group Backyard Chickens

"Hi, Scott & Chip, I agree that a well built chicken coop is a very sound investment. I designed a coop with the usual nesting boxes, tree branch perches, feeder, waterer, plus an infirmary pen and a broody condo. It's worked very well…"

I am a charter member of PASA and have attended all but 2 conferences. Yes, indeed, better than Xmas for me.

I'm new to the transition group and not good at the website yet. I heard Bill Sharp on WITF radio last week. Do you think he would organize this group for a meeting at PASA?

On the local scene, does Davis (or some broader geographic area) have a Transition-supporting website, or blog, or listserv, or Facebook, or Meetup?

Here's the page to create the link -- http://transitioninaction.com/groups/group/new. I'll be glad to help launch and build your link. What do you think...?
