In 2009, the New Yorker declared chickens the "it bird" and heralded "the return of the backyard chicken." Prof. Philip Levy (USF) mixes cultural history with husbandry to chronicle the weird and wonderful story of Americans’ urban chickens. Tampa has a special role in this story thanks to its laws protecting the birds of Ybor City. Levy provides the chickens' big picture and shares how city laws have changed over the years. Whether you have your own chickens, or just like them, this talk will help you see how vital they have been to city living. Books available for purchase. Free admission, refreshments.
