Hi All,
I have recently started a roof-top vegetable farm on top of a commercial building in Milwaukee (flat roof). I am hoping on adding some chickens, but am wondering about how chickens will do in the heat of the summer, the cold of the winter, and on the asphalt roof where I don't have the raised beds for the vegetables. Could chickens be allowed to range free on the roof (I have 2' parapets)?
I would love any feedback and others' experience with any project similar to this. I will try to post a picture to show the general layout as of now.
Thanks!
Erik
