Have you seen chickens in your neighborhood? With more and more people looking for ways to become more sustainable, providing their own food sources rather than relying commercial agriculture, there is a growing trend of livestock moving into the city.
Chickens are particularly well suited for urban dwelling, especially in small numbers. They provide many benefits aside from fresh eggs. Chickens, again in small quantities, are relatively quiet animals. If you have a fenced in yard, there is a good chance that your neighbors will not even know that they are there (provided that you keep the coop clean).
In addition to providing a regular supply of farm fresh eggs right outside your back door, chickens are also good for exterior pest control and providing manure for your gardening compost pile.
