As part of a senior project, a team of Cal Poly engineering students is working to build a new prosthetic for a fellow student. The Playing With Food team takes a look at backyard chickens. Cal Poly Arts Director Molly Clark talks about her mission to provide compelling performances that resonate with students and the community. From an episode of Agenda Breakdown from the KCBX Archive, we discuss the reasons behind the use of roundabouts on the Central Coast.

First it was the pandemic in 2020 when supply chains were closed off. Then it was avian flu in 2022 when flocks were being destroyed. People bought chickens! The average American eats about 275 eggs each year. So, if they are in short supply or really expensive, someone with a decent backyard may want to build a hen house. Among those in the know, they are referred to as “backyard chickens”, but Playing With Food is focusing specifically on Urban Chickens…ones that live in the city where they might annoy neighbors or be involved in cock fights.
