Have you ever dreamed of walking into your back yard and collecting fresh eggs from your own chickens? Have you dreamed of never again paying $4/dz for organic free range eggs? Would you like an all natural and totally green way to rid your garden of insects and bugs?
Dream no more. A group of people have begun meeting at Greenlife to develop an amendment to the current Asheville city ordinance regarding keeping a small number of chickens within city limits.
The group (fowlplayAshvl@aol.com) hopes to collaborate with city officials to establish a more friendly distance requirement. The current restrictions now prevent urban folks to tend small back yard coops. Restrictions on size of habitat, number, roosters would be emphasized.
For any suggestions/input, interest, or even help please send your comments and contact info to Jenny at fowlplayAshvl@aol.com
Yours in intentionally communing,

that's amazing! more power to this movement... i hope it works!
Growing up on a small farm in Michigan, my family had upwards of 100 chickens at times, and I was tasked with taking care of them. Chickens can be very easy to take care of, and a half dozen of them could produce enough eggs for you, your spouse, and your kids with some leftover. A good laying hen lays one a day... you do the math!
Hi Kelly: Yes, I hope it works, too. It speaks to the downwardly mobile, simple lifestyle that's been gaining so much ground lately.
Andrew: 100 chickens? Now that must have been a major chore! Six does seem much more manageable.
I wonder about city ordinances for chicken pens, etc. Hmmm.
