Other communities allow residents to keep backyard laying hens. What would it take for Iowa City and Coralville to embrace our feathered friends? Join Backyard Chicken enthusiasts Stacey Driscoll and Alicia Diehl as they take a light-hearted look at the joys and challenges of raising hens within city limits. But keeping chickens in town is illegal! How can we as a community boost local food production by supporting the backyard chickens’ legal issues?  Join us for some egg-citing refreshments prepared by Rachel Morey, co-founder of Cedar Rapid's Citizens for the Legalization of Urban Chickens.
