How one woman is bringing more chickens to Milwaukee

Dogs, cats, hamsters... chickens?

Granted, when you think of animals living at your home, chickens might not be the first thing that come to mind, but for Pewaukee woman Karen Krumenacher, she's trying to change that,

"I would consider myself a chicken enthusiast, a chicken consultant... I help folks out there raise their own backyard chickens."

And with her company,Royal Roost, Karen is de-bunking the process and showing people how raising backyard chickens can not only be a great resource for eggs and fun for the family, but actually very do-able (and legal!) here in Milwaukee,
