When I finally got to the Business section myself, suddenly the idea of raising a couple chickens in our backyard was really appealing. Thanks to our participating in a CSA back in Virginia, we'd had the pleasure of tasting fresh eggs, and believe me, once you have fresh eggs, you can only tolerate the styrofoam-packaged things they sell at the supermarket by the dozen (or gross by the gross, if you're shopping at Costco).
Besides the tempting oddity of having a couple cute cluckers inhabiting the back 40, raising our own egg-makers would be yet another green thing we, as a family, can do. As a bonus, the local zoning laws allow us to keep as many as three chickens here at the house.
A couple hours research on the web has led me to the following decent resources (a lot of not-so-useful stuff is out there):
But, I think I struck gold when I discovered Omlet's eglu chicken coop.
High tech meets high design meets urban living. It's all I can do not to order one today.
Instead, I've ordered Barbara Kilarski's Keep Chickens
to study up a bit more before diving in with living, eating, scratching, pooping egg-makers in the backyard.I've got preliminary buy in from Melanie (with certain agreements to do other outside chores as a condition). I'll keep you posted on my progress.

Hey Dude,
I am glad I could find somebody who owns a HK AVR245.
I have recently purchased one of these and every time I play a DVD, it only gives me audio output from 2 speakers. (FL and FR) I use an optical cable (spent 135 bucks on it) but still the front panel shows that only 2 speakers are active. Can you help me to fix this issue? I can even give you a call if you don't mind.
Thansk in advance.
David
