Mad Chickens At MCC

The Environmental Defenders of McHenry County, the Lou Marchi Total Recycling Institute at MCC, and McHenry County Transition invite you to a screening of the documentary Mad City Chickens On Tuesday, June 28th , 7:00 pm, at the McHenry County College Conference Center. 

Mad City Chickens is a sometimes serious, sometimes whimsical look at the people who keep urban chickens in their backyards. From chicken experts and authors to a rescued landfill hen or an inexperienced family that decides to take the poultry plunge-and even a mad professor and giant hen taking to the streets-it’s a humorous and heartfelt trip through the world of backyard chickendom.

Join others interested in this renewed trend for the screening and follow-up discussion.  Free to the public, donations to help offset costs are encouraged.
