The Chicken Revolution in Oregon!

[Tim]

I got this email from Barbara Palermo in the U.S. the other day and thought I'd share it with you. I found the video quite funny...

"In Salem, Oregon we have been working for nearly a year to legalize a few backyard hens, but our city has been a little reluctant to join the urban chicken movement. Our efforts even made the front page of the Wall Street Journal recently.

We are filming a documentary about our journey which will be released shortly and available through our website: http://www.salemchickens.com. The documentary will be both educational and humorous. Below is a link to a very funny trailer for the upcoming film.

Please feel free to post and share. Thanks!"

And here's the youtube video from the link she sent:

Here's an update from Barbara...

Hi Tim,

I just wanted to make sure you are aware of our new website (http://www.Chicken-Revolution.com). I have linked your blog to it and would appreciate it if you would consider doing the same.

Our documentary film is now complete and available thru this new website. If you liked the trailer, you will really like the entire film.

Also, our story will be featured in the next issue of GRIT magazine.
