How many chickens do you have?

Only 7, this is the smallest flock I have ever kept in all my years of chicken keeping. ....I'm inside city limits now so I'm limited (but grateful I can have them at all)

My six are the only ones I have had all my life. So I'm new!

So, I've always wondered about city chickens. Do they have access to grass and things? Or are they in a cage or something?

I have six baby chicks. Don't know what kind they are.

if you post some pictures maybe i can identify them.

I suppose it really depends on the setup - but our flock does, yes. We have a very large lot, and the coop is in the fenced part of the backyard. The girls have a run that they can access during the day when we aren't home and any time we are home and outside they are allowed free access to the fenced yard. I, personally, can't imagine keeping them without access to at least a run. Still in progress in this picture but you can see the coop, run and part of the backyard.

Thanks to everyone who posted! Really interesting! We've got 12 now but I can see us adding to our flock in time. We've become fairly addicted and attached in the last month!
