So my friend emailed me to ask if I was listening to Lynne Rossetto Kasper and The Splendid Table® this morning. I was not, but found the clip on line.
Testing the roosts
The opening question is priceless: “Do you have to have a rooster if you’re gonna have chickens… if you wanna get chickens for eggs?”
Answer: “Chickens are just like us they in the fact that we will cycle through our own eggs whether or not we are dating someone.”
An effort is under way to change Iowa City law to allow residents to keep chickens in their backyards.
Iowa City resident Stacey Driscoll started an online petition Tuesday calling on the city to allow people to keep up to five hens, no roosters, in residential areas.
The self-described avid backyard gardener said she’d heard of people in other urban areas raising chickens and wanted to do the same here to get fresh eggs but soon discovered she could not.
