"Several years after that about 10 years ago, the Weaver's Way Coop in Mt. Airy started a Facebook group called Philadelphia Backyard Chickens because they had a lot of people coming into their pet store and asking for chicken feed."

Although the backyard chicken group is still great colleagues with the Weaver's Way Co-op in Mt. Airy, they have moved on to continue their mission of legalizing raising chickens in Philadelphia.
