    What to plant in the yard for the chickens to eat?

    What can I plant for the chickens to eat? I have five laying hens and am in an urban environment, space is very limited. I do have some grass and they love it (not to mention all the raking they do in the mulched beds). Can you plant clover or something that they'll just go nuts for? Dan

    How to fully inspect a layer for health?

    Can anyone tell me what I need to look for? And I'm in ignorant newby so please be explicit. In other words, please provide instructions like this, "Hold the chicken in this fashion. Turn it over or around to look at the vent, etc." I'm just making that up but I am expecting that this kind...

    Coop over concrete?

    I live in the city and the only place I can put a coop is on concrete. I have heard of the deep litter method and I'm fine with that for the coop but what about the run? If I put any kind of shavings down, they'll get complete soaked the first time it rains. Should I raise the run so that the...

    How do my revisions to this city code look????

    This is the Columbia, South Carolina statute, which I have revised. Brackets indicate a deletion - underlining an addition. Only 4-33 and 4-34 have any changes. The current code appears to be internally inconsistent inasmuch as 4-33 prohibits keeping fowl and livestock but 4-34 allows it if...
