My mother tells of people keeping backyard chickens in Nashville during the war. The way the economy’s going, I’m planning to build a coop in the expectation that the HOA will cave. I’m told that someone in the back of the subdivision has them now.
I'm in a semi-rural area. My neighbors have chickens. About once a week they bring us a dozen eggs. We buy them a bag of chicken feed now and then, save the egg containers, and share homemade jam.
I've had to herd the chickens back to their cage a time or two, and dodge the roosters a few times.
I LOVE where I live! And, I love my neighbors!
