Is anyone doing another Tour de Coop? I'd love to be in it this year (had planned last year but had to leave town for work).

You're right!

Nothing scheduled at the moment, but we'll come up with something!

When is the next Backyard Chicken 101 event for 2012?  I just realized some of the events listed here are from last year, or is this a typo??

Thanks!

The coop in your video looks great P E Moes!  Where did you get the plans?

I'm always sorry to hear about cases like this - who exactly would these chickens be harming??? Our coop is full but I hope they find a good home.

Re: Susan Anton.  AMEN!  When the bylaw was being passed, I saw some merit to opposition on grounds that $20,000 was too much to spend on an abandoned chicken shelter.  But to run on a platform of abolishing backyard hens (and other agricultural activities) and bike lanes is absolutely absurd!  I can't take Ms. Anton seriously, especially when the right is so famous for talking about individual rights and freedoms. The sad thing is that she's familiar with keeping chickens, and just wants to take a contrarian position. Pete Ladner was a respectable NPA candidate last time around, but I see no reason to support the NPA this time around....With all due respect.
But I can't vote in Canada, so this is the extent of my political participation this election.

WANTED: viable mealworms. My girls love mealworms, and the ones at the pet store are not only expensive but treated (with what??) to not grow any more (and not reproduce, obviously).

 

I would have posted this in the buy/sell/share/find forum, but the link is broken. If you know anyone with amphibians or reptiles, maybe they have mealworms? I understand most people probably don't grow their own mealworms, but my girls are truly spoiled.

Thanks.

p.s. I don't care if they are from your flour bin, or whatever. I just want some that will reproduce.

Hi Folks,

Just a heads up to stop in and say hi if you're at the PNE.  I have a coop on display in the urban agriculture virtual backyard area.  It's in the barn area near the pig races.  If you know anyone who's thinking of chickens, but doesn't think they have the space, this is a good way to see how little space you need to still have happy healthy chickens.

Thanks,

Duncan

Hi,

 

I'm with Viva Collingwood Multicultural Summer Plaza and the theme of our event this year is Recycle/rRepurpose/Reinvent. Outside of recycling, we have a growing interest in urban farming in our area, and one of the areas that people have been asking about is keeping chickens in the city. We will have an organic farmer selling at our festival, and our Food Security Group is heavily involved. We would love to have someone come in and set up a table or pass on information about chickens, etc.

Our Plaza activates August 24 and runs till September 3. Thanks, Andrea

I can be reached at vivacollingwood@gmail.com
