[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP-i too live in moco and have chickens. i used to volunteer at calleva's organic farm in poolesville, and i helped take care of the chickens, turkeys and guinea fowl. it was fun and the chicken tasted so good, so dh and the kids and i got some to raise ourselves. it's been great. the neighbors love them (we don't have a rooster) because we share our eggs and fertilizer and the kids love going to feed them/collect the eggs. dh and i built the coop ourselves because dh has carpentry experience and it looks great. it matches our house too! it's funny that all these people probably wouldn't blink an eye at someone who mentioned growing their own vegetables, but mention chickens and all the sudden it means you're poor and a redneck.[/quote]
