"...local food movement overlaps with the nation’s tech elite — egg-laying chickens are now a trendy, eco-conscious humblebrag on par with driving a Tesla."

Oh, crap - they're going to destroy an important part of basic prepping by making it "trendy".

(So, hey, look at me - I'm trendy....)

9 out of 10 coyotes approve.

They're putting a free predator buffet in their back yard. I bet 9 out of 10 neighbors DO NOT approve.

Difficult here. Coyotes and chickens don’t mix gracefully.

At least not for the chickens...

“It’s a fascinating thing to sit and watch the animals because instead of looking at a screen, you’re looking at the life cycle,” Land said. “It’s very different from the abstract work that I do.”

I bet dollars to donuts that they leave the slaughter part out of the family show.

Silicon Valley wealthy dolts are getting more and more like the decadent scum who caused the collapse of the Roman Republic every day.

I wonder, how long before they're eating stuffed door mice raised on a diet of milk and follow dinner with an orgy?

My chickens used to have a nice coop, a nice run as well, but I also allowed them free ranging of my back yard. I had a few dogs out there with them that protected them from predators. Never lost one to a predator. Got too many eggs to eat, back in the day. But now its trendy? ugh...
