From fresh backyard eggs to the family’s new favorite pet, the urban chicken is moving up higher in the pecking order of human importance. Told with humor and heart, the new documentary Mad City Chickens (2008, 79 min.) takes us on an entertaining tour of what’s fast becoming a new backyard chicken movement in America. 

See the film, meet the filmmakers, and learn about backyard chickens in Chicago. Join filmmakers and Chicago Chicken Enthusiasts at Armitage Baptist Church in Logan Square. Co-presented with Angelic Organics Learning Center.
