In Brooklyn's racially diverse Crown Heights neighborhood, the Walt L. Shamel Community Garden houses a flock of chickens being raised by the garden directors with help from the Just Food City Chicken Project (www.justfood.org/urban-agriculture-and-markets/city-chicken-project). Ruliffson's insightful minicomic riffs on urbanites who have never seen a live chicken, closing the gap between producing and consuming, educating locals about keeping chickens in the city, and describing the pleasures of tending to fowl. Realistic black-and-white brushwork drawings; good for urban collections and foodie readers.
