Color Vision? It's for the Birds.

My friends, David and Jeanne just got new chickies!

Chicken Ark

Thanks for this cool forward, Ryan Gialames:

Go green and get fresh eggs for free with help from the Chicken Ark ($500). Handcrafted from renewable Douglas Fir timber, each ark provides space for up to four medium laying hens, and offers them a covered run, elevated roost, and separate nesting box — all the tools they need to leave you with nutritious eggs that are both better and cheaper than the one's you'll find at the local supermarket, while keeping your grass trim as a bonus.

Campaign for a Free Range Future!

This is what they are doing over in the UK!

PBS: The Natural History of the Chicken (DVD)

I got this for Christmas from my husband... man, what a WONDERFUL dvd! SERIOUSLY awesome!

Most people best know the chicken from their dinner plates -- whether as thigh, wing or drumstick. Consumers barely pause a moment to consider the bird's many virtues. Filmmaker Mark Lewis (Cane Toads: An Unnatural History and Rat) expands the frontiers of popular awareness and delightfully reveals that this small, common and seemingly simple animal is as complex and grand as any of Earth's creatures.
