How to Keep Backyard Chickens in Vegas

Egg prices are outta control — they doubled over the course of 2022. So that’s got a lot of Las Vegans asking themselves… should we get backyard chickens? Award-winning food writer and backyard chicken wrangler Kim Foster joins co-host Vogue Robinson today to talk about why you should (and shouldn’t) raise chickens, and everything it takes to do it right in the extreme weather conditions of Las Vegas. Fair warning in case you’ve got kids in the car: There’s a lengthy discussion about chicken butts in this episode. Actually, they’re gonna love that. Queue up this episode!

If you’re now on the chicken train, check out the Las Vegas Backyard Pet Chickens group that Kim mentioned here.
