Here, chick, chick, chick.

A few days ago, the production crew of Nashville Public Television’s weekly program, Volunteer Gardener, came over to film an episode on urban hen-keeping. After the team finished filming the TV program, they stayed and broadcast a Facebook LIVE segment. I didn’t even know there was such a thing as Facebook LIVE.

The white arrow doesn’t always work, so if it doesn’t, try this link.

Watch the live program and learn things you didn’t know to wonder about, like chicken egg production (No, they don’t need a rooster), what chickens do all day, what they eat, their most unusual eyesight, and the requirements for getting a Domestic Hen Permit.

Special thanks to the ever-creative producer of Volunteer Gardener, Greta Requierme, for allowing me to teach about keeping a flock of urban hens. She searches the state to develop unique and exciting stories for the program, making it the number one watched show on NPT. Much thanks to the hilarious host, Julie Berbiglia, Public Education Specialist for Metro Water Services. She was delightful and put me at ease throughout the two interviews.

The end of the LIVE broadcast got a little crazy with the chicken humor, but they couldn’t didn’t edit it out.

Here is a link to the Volunteer Gardener episode about hen-keeping that came out a few months later: Chicken Chat.
