Chicken Coop Chronicles

There was a day last winter when I heard that it was legal to keep chickens in Chicago. From that moment I became obsessed with the idea of keeping chickens. After months of planing and persuading my wife. I finally completed the project. Here is the short story of the adventure. To learn more about our efforts visit http://www.lowcarbonhome.info

I seriously want to do this... I've been looking into it for some time now. I am currently in the stages of convincing my other half as well. I see you live in Chicago. I'm here in the Andersonville neighborhood and would love to come see your coop. I actually have a lot of questions about caring for them during times of cold weather like we're experiencing. Would you be willing to connect?

Sure.

Hello from Seattle! Your video is great! I am turning our old dog house into a chicken coop and you really helped me. Thanks so much for posting.

Great job on your coop. I also have chickens in the city.

Great job on the coop! I will have to redo mine to improve the nest boxes, drainage and roosting bars.
