the younger white urban population has started a trend some time ago.
local, fresh, know your source, do it yourself.
which has brought us many good things: organic food, craft beer, cheese, coffee, chocolate and small farmers markets.
the next step is the urban garden where the urbanity trains to survive either the peak oil melt down or the populist fueled melt down of social institutions, e.g. G.Beck other angry white people.
the backyard chicken coop is the latest step in an effort to be self sufficient and enjoy great food.
breeds to go for are:
Barred Plymouth Rock = American original, docile nature and lays large eggs.
Orpington = England, smarter breed, learn tricks and call-by-name
Sussex = England, adapt well to confined space, docile and large eggs
we have Rode Island Red = very popular in Graham, medium to large eggs the second year running.
