Chicks in the City

Is gathering fresh eggs from your own hens each morning only a dream for you city folks? Good news-It may be closer to reality than you think. Nate Harmon raises chickens in his backyard in Bloomington and has some great tips for having your city dwelling and chickens, too.

He'll be sharing that information at the 2008 Food, Farm and Energy Gathering on Saturday, February 23rd. For more information about this program and other upcoming local food related events, visit this site's Indiana Local Food and Events section.
