This is absolutely awesome. As soon as I get a yard, I'm getting some chickens :)

I registered for the tour, and I'll be taking lots of photos and notes. I'll write up something shortly after! I have also (re)initiated contact with Rick and we will work on a meetup for folks interested in chicken ranching.
