Chickens!

6/21/2014

 
There are chickens in our neighborhood! The Heights Chickeneers invited Heights area people to tour 10 homes with backyard chickens. Three tour stops were in the Noble Neighborhood. It's legal to have a few hens in the Heights now, as long as you register with the city and comply with a few consider-your-neighbors regulations. In spite of dozens of gawking humans at each stop, the chickens seemed to take it all in stride.  A few free-rangers came up to us and allowed us to pet them! We were, however, warned not to try to pet Brooder, the misinformed hen who thinks her eggs will hatch. She defends her sterile brood with a swift peck on the hand. Coop designs spanned from Architectural Review magazine cover material to I-used-the-materials-I-had-on-hand utilitarian models. No matter the construction technique, all these "girls" looked content. After all, you've got to be one lay-ed back lady to let folks gather 'round as you luxuriate in your (dust) bath!

Someone asked me if I was going to build a chicken coop that would match the quality of the $1200-in-materials palace we saw. No, but if I were to build a chicken abode, I'd make it chicken coupe - like a '57 Chevy coupe. Pop the trunk to get to the nesting boxes, roost on a steering wheel, teach the chickens to peck out "Little Deuce Coop" on car horns, you get the idea.
