Home to Roost Helping city folks raise chickens!

Niche biz opportunity! A group in Australia is experimenting with therapy chickens in elder care homes. Check out this sweet video. 

The following came in from last week. The contact is Debra.

I need to rehome my dutch bantam chicken and rooster asap. I have hand
raised them since they were baby chicks. They are “indoor” pets. They
are trained like a dog to go outside and come in with a clicker.
Although, the rooster isn’t as responsive with the clicker, once she comes
in, he follows her. They are really sweet, but my son has developed
serious asthma and allergies. Even though I clean their cage weekly, they
can no longer stay inside my house. They have not been acclimated to
other chickens and have not acclimated to outside weather.
 
I hope you can help! If you are looking for sweet little pets, please
email me at birdman@ripco.com. They need to stay together as a pair.
 
I can deliver them or you can pick them up in Skokie.

This video from Otaika Valley, New Zealand, has quite possibly some of the happiest commercial layers you’ll ever see. A very happy video! Brings a tear to my eye!
