Chicken babysitters in Portland. What’s next, chicken dayplay?

We are at a weird time in our culture. We want to recapture the spirit of victory gardens and feeding ourselves. But we don’t necessarily want to fundamentally change our lifestyle or upset the neighbors too much.

And that’s how we end up with chicken babysitters — Just Us Hens — a company in Portland, Oregon, that is willing to watch your backyard chickens while you’re on vacation. Welcome to the world of boutique urban farming.
