CITY CHICKENS

What is The City Chicken Project?
Gardeners keep chickens all over the city.  Just Food recognizes that chickens provide fresh eggs, fun and education for children, fertilizer for the garden, aerated soil, kitchen and garden scrap recycling, etc. With the support of Heifer International and Assemblyman Jose Rivera, the City Farms is working with experienced chicken keepers in NYC to create model projects from which gardeners can learn how to keep happy, healthy, and productive chickens.

How Can I Get Involved With City Chickens? 
To learn everything you need to know about keeping chickens in New York City, buy our City Chicken Guide .  To see a chicken site and to learn more, attend our upcoming chicken workshops and/or join the Just Food City Chicken Meetup NYC where you can connect with other chicken keepers. This group is also a place to learn about chicken workshops, meet-ups and coop tours and to share your own events, questions and advice.

How Can I Become A City Chicken Site?
Just Food works with 2 or 3 new City Chicken sites per year to provide training, materials, and chickens! To become a City Chicken site, your garden is required to have the commitment of the group, the support of the community, and a willingness to teach others about chickens.

Applications to become a 2010 City Chicken site will be available early next spring.  Stay tuned!
