Herself and I live on a wee third of an acre ... oddly enough, my town let's folks keep chickens, even a rooster!
So, three years down the road and the flock it fine, forage as often as possible, stay out of traffic, and since we don't care about having some perfectly manicured lawn, they can roam and forage to their hearts' content.
Flock is 10 adults, 7 chicks, but we're only keeping 2 chicks. We figure 12 is our upper limit.
What I'd want most is more land so I could have more chickens!
So ... All you nice folks with tiny properties ... how's it going? How're you coping? What issues do we share?

), I think the worst part has been dealing with waste. Example: What do you do with partially decomposed duck bedding? While I've converted all the backyard space that isn't the duck run into raised garden beds, the garden can only take so much poopy straw. And I hate the thought of it just going in the landfill, which is happened to some of it. And how do you dispose of dirty duck water in the winter, at least 8 gallons a day? In the summer, the garden beds love it, but in the winter there's no place for it to go so it got dumped on the pea gravel floor of the duck run and by spring it was nasty!!
