So, I got a nice flock going last summer when I lived on a big farm up in the valley, then life, and a great new job, happened and forced a move to a city lot in the middle of downtown Anchorage, AK. I sold off my flock, which broke my heart, but now that the days are starting to get a LITTLE bit longer and a LITTLE bit warmer, I am wanting birds again.
We have a tiny city lot, maybe 1/8 of an acre with a good portion of that taken up by house. Our neighbor is a backpacker's hostel and the windows of the upper floor overlook our yard, so keeping things low key is an issue.
What would you recommend? Does anyone have experience with those privacy slats for chainlink fence? Keeping nosy neighbors and passersby out of my chickens is of great concern.
Other than that, I'd love to hear your tips and tricks for keeping chickens in close city quarters!
