<font size="+1"><font face="Comic Sans MS">Really! I didn't know the
City Laws/Ordinances permitted <br>
keeping chickens in residential zones in Moscow. Maybe it<br>
is in small numbers?<br>
<br>
Does this mean that I could be treated to the olfactory<br>
essence of chickens if a breeze blew my direction from<br>
a neighbor's property, in a Moscow R-1 Zone? And it<br>
would be LEGAL?<br>
<br>
My, oh my, what is this world coming to? Talk to owners<br>
about how to "gather eggs"! Wow. I guess I'm just much<br>
too old.<br>
<br>
Hey, if somebody wants to offer me a mocha downtown,<br>
I'll give them my personal stories about cleaning the<br>
chicken roost, emptying the "chicken bucket" and watching<br>
the chickens scurrying to get the best morsels, and,<br>
actually gathering the eggs. I can add some zest by<br>
telling tales of fowl slaughtering, dipping carcasses<br>
in boiling water, plucking feathers, and singeing the<br>
pin feathers with a burning newspaper.<br>
<br>
Now if doing the above suddenly became "way cool" in<br>
our culture, that would be really interesting, for sure!<br>
<br>
Just grousing around, because the weather is getting cold . . .<br>

Moscow Food Co-op is sponsoring the first annual "Co-op Coop Cruise" <br>
from 4pm to 6pm on Sunday, October 11 to visit 4 backyard chicken coops
<br>
in Moscow.<br>
<br>
The cruise participants will tour the backyard chicken coops, talk with
<br>
the owners to learn about the realities of raising chickens and <br>
gathering eggs, and have the opportunity to ask questions about
starting <br>
their own home poultry programs. Snacks and beverages will be provided <br>
by the Co-op along the tour.<br>
<br>
The cost of the Co-op Coop Cruise is $12 for adults, $5 for children <br>
(children under 3 are free). Tickets can be purchased from any cashier <br>
at the Moscow Food Co-op. Enrollment is limited.<br>
<br>
The 4 chicken coops on the tour are all located at homes within <br>
residential neighborhoods in the city of Moscow. The tour does not <br>
include transportation. Participants must provide their own <br>
transportation between coops.<br>
<br>
The Co-op is located at 121 East Fifth Street in downtown Moscow.<br>
