true. I guess when I joined my idea of back yard chickens were in a country setting being I live in the country. I never once before joining this site ever even thought about anyone raising chickens in a city. Being a broke country boy who avoids the cities the thought never crossed my mind. Thankfully there is this thread.That is the express purpose and intent of this very site we are on. (well, not the bad information part, but....) It is what it is, Back Yard Chickens, not Back 40 chickens.
This thread, and a few others, provide a measure of counter-point, and such threads enrich the minority's experience.
