Chickens are a totally legit city animal

Jeff Prussack is a program leader for our service learning trips. He also happens to live in New Orleans (where many of our service learning trips go) at the Moishe House.

Jeff just sent me pictures of the awesome chicken coop he built at the NOLA Moishe House. Having raised chickens myself and built two coops, I know they can be a pain to build. The two I helped with were super bulky. This one is so sleek, practical and cool looking. It’s the home to four laying hens- Pearl, Rose, Bubs and Girdie.

I’m in full support of all us city-dwelling Jews raising chickens. It’s actually really easy and rewarding. You can even order them in the mail! Fresh eggs everyday and if you’re really cruel (like me) backyard, organic chicken dinner for a special occasion.  What do you think? 

(Oh and for those who don’t know, Moishe House provides subsidized housing for young adult Jews to do cool things in a group home with and for Jews. There are 28 houses in 10 countries.)

If you want to talk chickens, Moishe House stuff or even because you want him to build you one of his cool coops, get in touch with me and I'll get you in touch with Jeff.
