Here a Consultant, There a Consultant

It's legal in Chicago to own a chicken. I've seen a couple in my neighborhood, as a matter of fact.

But I don't have one of my own, so I had never contemplated the question of what do you do if an egg gets stuck inside a hen? How do you help the hen?

Heck, I didn't even know an egg COULD get stuck in a hen.

Well, now I know who to call. It turns out our metropolitan area has a part-time chicken consultant.

For most visits, such as healthy hen checkups, new babies consultations and overall coop assessments, Murtoff charges $60.

Her blog is here. And here's a pic from her blog.



All I know about laying eggs
is that they come out near the legs.
