Hangin' with my peeps
Keep the kids close to the nest: the illicit urban chicken movement is taking wing across the nation, hatching plans to egg houses and fowl backyards. Illicit chickens could be anywhere -- so watch your bawk, Hoboken.

Wet 'n' wild
Buying Evian just to take an effing bath? We're not that naïve. Although for $400 and international superstardom, we might sing a different water-shortage tune.

Unfortunately, chickens in the city all too often get into trouble:

Cf. also the not very promising description of the Yonkers store where chickens and other small animals are sold, slaughtered and butchered, in the article on the newly devised and controversial Hechsher Tzedek (Kosher certification of righteousness) in the last Sunday NY Times Magazine, the "Tom Philpott Issue":
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/12/magazine/12kosher-t.htm ....
We are hearing more and more stories of animals kept in confinement in and around NYC, in shoddy surroundings, destined to be slaughtered. This is NOT a good development.
