Chickens on the Loose

Sarah Sammis

There aren't many books that sum up what life in Hayward (and unincorporated Hayward) is like. This book does. In the unincorporated area you can keep roosters too. My neighbor has one. I love listening to him and the hens. This book also includes tips on how to keep chickens in an urban setting.

As someone who lives in an urban area with a history of chicken farming and current laws allowing the keeping of chickens (including roosters) I found the similarities to my town an extra bonus. There aren't many picture books that really capture what life in Hayward is like but this one does.

But this book isn't just about some chickens going on walkabout. There's a back of book section that includes a brief introduction to keeping chickens in an urban setting. The book mentions that many cities don't allow rooster keeping. Unincorporated areas, like where I live, do, however. Your local city or county government website will have more information if this book inspires you.
