TALES OF THE URBAN CHICKENS PART 1: Eggonomics






This is our second year as urban chicken farmers. Our flock, as mandated by city ordinance, consists of three chickens. What our flock lacks in size however, we make up in drama, amusement, and oh yes…eggs. Our chickens are now mature and serious hens just over a year old, and we average around 2.375 eggs per day. Our path to this abundance has not been particularily smooth, however, and I'd like to share some of our hard-earned poultry lessons.


But first, some introductions. Our brood came to us as 5 day-old chicks, presents for my grandchildren. There were two black Austrolorps, and a spotted Wyandott. Each granddaughter choose and named a chicken. Abra (in the purple fleece) is holding Chucken, a black Austrolorp. Her younger sister Sophia is holding Bella, the Spotted Wyandott.
