A really cool chicken pad
I read this story online about how some Americans have started raising chickens in their backyards, despite neighbor's complaints and city legislature against it.
It went on to say how some owners built henhouses to look like children's play houses to "appease" neighbors, and how some took to hiding their backyard fowl from neighbors for years. It also provided a link to this snazzy "stealth coop" that owners could use to camouflage their chicken coop in urban settings....
Yeah, cool huh?? It's shaped like a trash can on wheels, merged with a cart. But I'm more amused by the fact that an actual website named www.mypetchicken.com actually exists. Who knew?
Personally, I don't see what's so strange about the practice. Times are hard, so I can understand how some families would rather raise their own livestock and get some free eggs in the process. I'll bet if some backyards were even bigger, they'd get a cow - but then again maybe they should move to a farm if they're going to go that far.
The only question I have is... what happens when avian flu comes back? I'd hate to have avian flu in my backyard.
But you gotta admit, that's a cool-looking trash coop.
