Clandestine Chickens

Adventures of Keeping Basement Chickens and General Mayhem Around Our Urban Farm!

About Me

Clandestine Chickens: We are recent newlyweds who are interested in becoming more self-sufficient.Our journey towards more self reliance sparked our interest in urban homesteading, and this got us started with what is called the gateway farm animal: chickens.Unfortunately we learned that chickens are not allowed in our town so we had to undertake a more unorthodox approach to getting started with chickens. This is why we have “clandestine chickens.” As there is virtually nothing available on the web or in book stores on keeping chickens in your basement (other than warnings that its “not recommended”), we had to experiment and learn a lot as we went along… We have some how made this work, more or less, and want to pass along some of our knowledge to other intrepid would be members of the “chicken underground”.
