Chicken Farming Gets Boost in Iraqi TownBy Army Sgt. David Turner

FORWARD OPERATING BASE KALSU, Iraq, May 8, 2008 – When soldiers of 6th Squadron, 8th Cavalry Regiment, began inspecting chicken coops in Hawr Rajab, Iraq, in December, they found munitions caches and bomb-making materials instead of poultry.
A young Iraqi unpacks chicks in Hawr Rajab, Iraq, May 6, 2009. Funds from the Baghdad-7 Embedded Provincial Reconstruction Team allowed his family to refurbish its chicken coop. Deliveries of chicks and feed are intended to restore once-thriving chicken farms that were devastated by recent insurgent violence. U.S. Army photo by Sgt.
