Urban farming craze begets chicken diapers
With more city folks adding small coops to their homes, the eggs are valued -- but the poop isn't.

[quqote]One big growth area is in urban poultry farming. City and suburban folks are adding small coops to their yards or rooftops, raising chickens for their eggs and as pets. Some locavore aficionados are skipping mass-produced eggs from giant producers such as Cal-Maine Foods (CALM 0.00%), the largest producer of fresh eggs in the U.S., believing that home-grown eggs are healthier.
But unlike cats and dogs, chickens aren't animals that can be potty trained. They might be fun to pick up, but getting pooped on isn't as enjoyable. Enter the chicken diaper.
A New Hampshire company called Pampered Poultry is selling small fabric diapers "for the fashion-obsessed hen." Owners can buy the $12 diapers for different size chickens (small for bantam chickens, for instance, and large for roosters and big breeds), in colors ranging from cloud blue to wine red.[/quote]
