June 20th - Backyard Chickens take over Main Street
We had backyard chickens as part of the Village Vancouver village at Car Free Day on Main Street on Sunday. The girls had MANY adoring fans and generated a lot of interest.

Many of our visitors asked to be invited to this group so I hope you will all join me in making them feel welcome and in sharing information and resources.

Thanks for posting those. I missed some of those stories. I've been keeping a record of press on my website,dailyeggs.com. It looks like we have some overlap, but by my count there are at least 10 news pieces out there on Vancouver chickens since last spring.
I'll try posting the links below, but they may end up looking like a jumble of html code:
