Correction

I apologize for misleading anyone who read the previous post about Mad City Chickens: the aforementioned video at Wisconsin Public Television is not the full-length film, but rather an interview with the filmmakers. I can't find the film online (even searched at Netflix and found nothing), but I did happen upon this fun deleted scene as well as a film trailer, both at youtube.com. The 'Mad City Chickens' DVD can be purchased from Tarazod Films for $21.95.

Mad City Chickens

I was crushed to have missed the screening of Tarazod Films "Mad City Chickens" at Lakefront Brewery the other night because I had a meeting to attend on behalf of the Tosa Farmers Market. Today, however, I happily stumbled upon a version of the film that can be viewed online at Wisconsin Public Television's Director's Cut.

I've been interested in backyard chicken rearing for over a year now and have been eagerly following the progress of groups like Shorewood Chickens, figuring that if folks in a suburb like Shorewood can compell their city to change an ordinance banning chickens, perhaps Wauwatosa can do the same. Strapped as I am for spare time, however, I don't really have the ability to organize a movement of our own in Tosa -- yet. So I'm watching and waiting to see what happens in places like Shorewood and Milwaukee proper.

In the meantime, a friend of mine and I thought it might helpful to start a "fan page" at Facebook called "Tosa Chickens" to gauge interest in this concept. If you support backyard chickens and live in Tosa, please become a "fan" of Tosa Chickens on Facebook.
