Need help!

Sounds like your academic reason for having poultry is the same reason that a lot of us do.  I have 5 birds, started as eggs and chicks this spring.  Their  purpose for being is mainly for garden assistance.  Free tilling, weed and insect control.  They also provide a great deal of amusement.  Eggs are merely a side benefit.  My garden practice is a combination of Ruth Stout's permanent mulch, lasagna gardening, and where practical interplanting and wide row planting.  Welcome to BYC, and enjoy the interaction between chickens and your garden.

Thanks! Yes, what I'm recording is nothing new, but unfortunately many urban areas still don't allow chickens. Sad I know. Anyway, I just wanted to record and consolidate the Pros and Cons, so others could make a more educated decision. I believe it's a persons right to enjoy these kinds of things if they are responsible enough to do so. Hope it all helps someone one day.
