More and more cities are relaxing their rules on backyard
chickens. (Most still restrict roosters due to their noisy mornings.)
I had a Latino neighbor across the street who free-ranged his hens in the street (in a
city that did not allow chix). I had the best garden in the neighborhood, and they spent a LOT of time in my
yard. He asked me once if I minded. "Not at all" I replied. I didn't tell him I had some
milk crates with
straw in the garage...got a few eggs every day. LOL
