Who loves fresh eggs?

Wyandotte, Barred Rock, Buff Orpington, Araucana- the rumpless tufted blue-egger.

Who has these exotic names you ask? Compost processing, fertilizer producing, bug pecking lil' cluckers. These feathery delights could be your new neighbors!

My friend Hope and her mom Denise own Willowbrook farm in Camp Verde, AZ. They order their chicks from Privett Hatchery in Portales, New Mexico,and we will be picking up 8 fuzzy chicks from them next week! Order your chickens today! For local feathered friends check out Olsen's Feed & Grain, they will order chicks for you in 25 chick batches and have all the supplies you need for your new hens. Privett Hatchery in Portales, New Mexico, has several varieties of chicks that will come to you, chirping through the mail.

As farm land disappears, (who can afford that much land anyway?) Urban chickens are popping up in neighborhoods and downtown locations near you. Coops can be made from recycled pallet wood, pvc pipes, you name it, you can use it. Check out some of these coop plans for your backyard chickens. Chicken coop in your landscaping an eyesore you say? Check out Garden Coop, for their kit coops that are very appealing as well as functional.

Well, you said that it is also applicable in downtown locations. We still need backyard, though. Then, what about the smell? Hen breeding will give bad smell to the surroundings. This will disturb the neighbors, right? Or, is there any solution for this problem?

Wow, your chicken looks very cute. I'd want to try the same business as you, but first I want to ask a few things to you. What about the smell? Whether this would disturb the neighbors? What is the solution of all these problems? I hope you give me an answer. By the way, Thanks for sharing this information.
