Urban chickens hit the silver screen this month in 'Mad City Chickens.'
The approval of backyard chickens in Vancouver has inspired a revival showing of Mad City Chickens. The film traverses the varied landscape of urban chicken living—from the yards of expert chicken keepers to chicken newbies, tons of people are taking the poultry plunge.
The documentary makes its return to Vancouver on June 18 at 7 p.m. at Langara College. It will be followed by a discussion of Village Vancouver’s Coop Co-op Project and info will be dispensed on upcoming backyard chicken workshops.
