Pandemic Spurs Interest in Backyard Coops

Pandemic Spurs Interest in Backyard Coops.  (Article just sent to me my Connie Chronis, local mortgage broker - Los Altos, Silicon Valley).

Google searches for backyard coops to raise chickens reportedly have been on the rise since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Homeowners are exploring ways to have access to fresh eggs in a time when visiting the grocery store has become more stressful and food shortages grow. “Interest in some of my chicken articles has gone up over 500% since the end of February,” livestock expert Shelby DeVore, founder of Farminence, told realtor.com®. “I’ve also had a huge response from people reaching out and looking for advice.” Chickens are affordable and relatively low-maintenance, and don’t require a lot of space, DeVoer says. “It’s a great way to become a little more self-sufficient without committing to an all-out homestead or completely self-sufficient lifestyle.”
