Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Chicken collective within cohousing community

[Bea Sochor (beasochor]

Chicken Club currently at Tierra Nueva - www.tncoho.com:

Buy in is done by shares which entitles you to Fresh Eggs every week (as 
available)  and the opportunity to feed chickens on a rotating schedule.  We 
will start with a $30/ share buy in which will help us purchase a new flock and 
keep them fed for a few months.  Two week rotations for feeding and 
distribution of eggs will start when we have a small meeting.  For basic 
calculations, one share is about 1 dozen eggs per week. Depending on our cost 
per chicken and feed fluctuations the eggs are about $2-3 per dozen and new buy 
ins will happen as the fund is depleted.  This will fluctuate somewhat with 
weather and time of year.  Fresh eggs will spoil you for any other, and you 
will have the opportunity to participate in our yearly(?) chicken club dinner.
