Yes, I said chickens! Did you know that a lot of Big Bear folks raise chickens for eggs and, uh, meat! The lady that used to run the Big Bear City post office has chicken in her yard. They are doing quite well, thank you!
She doesn’t put out a light for them either, she lets them do their own thing and they have a little “home” to go to during the night hours. The folks at the corner of Country Club and Greenway had chickens last year, haven’t seen them since winter time. Bet they were tasty!
I bring this up because our growing season for edibles is so short, but we can live off the land here anyway. We just make consessions! We are thinking of keeping chickens too. There is nothing like a fresh egg in the morning!
Next weekend, the Xeriscape home tour will take place, and maybe you will even see chickens! It has been done before! For additional information on the Sierra Club’s Xeriscape Garden Tour contact Christie Walker at 866-5006.
So book a place with us for the weekend of July 18, 2009 and join us for some fun!
