Comments on: About Me http://awindycitygal.wordpress.com Knitting, gardening, and raising chickens in the city Tue, 15 Dec 2009 03:48:10 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Robert http://awindycitygal.wordpress.com/about/#comment-1040 Robert Fri, 30 Oct 2009 15:30:37 +0000 #comment-1040 Hello, I was looking a a Wikipedia entry and you garden is featured on it. I am very interested in urban agriculture even though I now live in the country. You blog has been very entertaining, especially the chicken entries. am originally from Chicago (Franklin Park) and have been gardening since I was in 5th grade. My wife had been living in Northbrook and I had a really large garden there. We moved out to Dahinda, about 35 miles west of Peoria a few years back. We now have a 22 acre farm and plenty of chickens. We also raise steers, goats, ducks, pigs, and a llama. I enjoy your blog and if I had stayed in Chicago I think that I would be doing something similiar to you. Hello,

I also maintain a small flock within the city limits of Chicago. Quite close to the loop in fact. A friend and I have been working on short documentary film about backyard coops around Chicago. I was wondering if you would be interested in letting us film your coop and do an interview. You can see a sample of some of my work at the link I provided. Let me know what you think. My email is the best way to contact me. Thanks! Windycitygal,

Anyway, I read you were looking for panels for your chicken coop and I had this place in my favorites. They have all kinds of supplies for greenhouses including polycarbonate panels. http://www.greenhousemegastore.com/. My brother keeps chickens in New Hampshire I never thought about telling him about these panels. He has a coop attached to the side of a barn so the chickens can go inside for protection from the weather.

I have the exact same question as Jeff (above) Where did you buy your chickens? Do you know of a local or mail order company that will allow an order of less than 25 chickens? We just bought a house in the Belmont/Cragin neighborhood of Chicago with a PERFECT yard for chickens and a garden. I was planning on ordering in march (for several months) so they will be old enough to live outside once the weather warms, and I hit this road block. Any suggestions? thanks, and take care. A Great blog!
