I visited my good friend, Arin, last weekend and was introduced to her urban farm, located in her beautiful backyard in Brooklyn. I met Roz, Estelle, and Rhonda, her egg-laying hens. Ben, Arin's husband, made us a delicious fried egg breakfast from eggs that had been collected that morning. I love the smartly designed chicken coop. This is not your grandparents' coop, but instead is a modern, efficient system made by Omlet USA (http://www.omlet.us), a company that has an "award winning range of eglus" for raising chickens and rabbits.
