If the warm sun and longer days have you thinking about starting your own flock of hens, then consider signing up for the CLUCK list-serv. There you can query other local chicken-keepers, jump into the fun of organizing our first ever city coop tour, and generally stay in the know about all things chicken-related in Charlottesville. To sign up, simply email cvillecluck@gmail.com.
Also, in case you missed it, check out Erika Howsare's great piece in this week's C-ville about the joys of fresh eggs and community-supported chicken coops.
I just found your blog and while I don't live in the city, I do raise hens on a couple acres of land. I thought I'd post links to where I've blogged about our hens, raising chicks, and their coop and yard. I blog about them on two different sites: http://pomoyemu.blogspot.com/search?q=chickens and http://casaincostruzione.blogspot.com/search?q=chickens
ReplyDeleteWe heard about you in c-ville. We have been interested in chicken raising for some time now and are just about ready to accept a few onto our little parcel of 5 acres. We aren't in the city, but we'd love to join your group to learn about where to get local pullets, etc. I saw you had a meeting last year. Any plans for another?
ReplyDeleteWe are the Healthy Food Coalition. A new org in town. We love your group name and are definitely interested in coming to your next meeting. Is there a contact person to find out more.
