“chickens”
I’ve been reading about urban chicken keepers recently. For eggs.
I also remember specifically that Augusta Tabor, the Colorado Silver King’s wife, kept a cow in her front yard in Denver (now that was a while back, of course, but I did meet up with a woman who had know Baby Doe Tabor. That is a great memory. She told the whole story to me in front of a pot-bellied stove in the old Tabor house in Leadville, while it snowed 6 inches outside. http://www.legendsofamerica.com/CP-Tabor5.html)
In Portland (I’m not there now...) — there was a neighbor directly across the street that had about 8 chickens and had lots of eggs. We would get some eggs from her from time to time. Also, her and her husband would go out salmon fishing a lot and bring home lots of salmon and smoke it. We would be the recipients of some absolutely delicious salmon at times... :-)
