Check out the humorous, witty, and cinematographically pleasing results of hours of being followed by a camera and hooked up to a microphone! Mary Horan, a Columbia College student followed me for a few months to get a variety of footage, most of it involving urban poultry!

As it turns out, my wacky sense of humor comes out, as does my passion for chickens!

This video was created by Mary Horan, a film student at Chicago’s Columbia College! A huge thanks to you, Mary!

It was a lot of fun to be part of this video-making process! Mary approached me a few months ago and asked if she could follow me for a film class. I said sure!

Home to Roost Client Writes About Her Chixperience

One of my Oak Park clients is writing for Patch.com! She emailed earlier this year with a definitive “I am ready for chickens!” and asked for my Home to Roost package deal! I scoped out the yard, gave tips and pointers, checked on the new babies, and responded to a call when one of them died. Read all about it here! We Have Chickens!
