http://http://www.facebook.com/pages/Billings-Backyard-Hen-Initiative/104362939650567?s Nature of Business: The Billings Backyard Hen Initiative is a group of local citizens working with the city of Billings to allow the responsible keeping of a limited number of backyard hens. We are a citizen\`s coalition for the purposes of public education and support. Mission: To change city code to allow urban hen-keeping, and to educate and support the public in hen-keeping efforts, on an ongoing basis. Sustainability Goals Your Organization Embraces: There is nothing more sustainable than a backyard hen. They work tirelessly to turn scraps, bugs and a handful of local grains into two products: eggs for humans, and compost materials for the garden and lawn. Additional Green Directory ListingsGreen Badges | No growth hormones or antibiotics
reason We support natural and organic hen-keeping practices. |  | Livestock have access to outdoors
reason We advise members and public that we are helping of the wisdom of utilizing "chicken tractors" to allow hens safe access to backyard grass and insects. |  | Improving the health of community
reason Backyard eggs are much healthier than store-bought alternatives, with 3-6x the vitamin D, high in folic acid and omega-3 fatty acids, 1/4 less saturated fat and 1/3 less cholesterol. |  | Reducing waste
reason Backyard hens eat up to 9 pounds of bio-mass per hen, per month. That's over 100# per year! When adding grass clippings and autumn leaves to their waste, a single hen can make a big difference in NOT contributing to greenhouse gases, by benefit of compost and recycling! |  | Using sustainably produced material
reason Hens eat kitchen and garden scraps, leftovers, and bugs of all sorts. They turn it into poultry fertilizer and eggs. |  | Conserving energy
reason Backyard hens don't require a trip to the grocery store for breakfast eggs. |
