Ever thought you wanted to keep chickens, but don't live in the country? Check out Patricia Foreman's book City Chicks and learn the joys of keeping chickens in small places.
If you're trying to live a greener lifestyle, keeping chickens may interest you. Did you know that about 25% of what goes into landfills is bio-mass (that's a nice way to say food scraps). Did you also know that chickens will eat your food scraps? Yep, chickens are naturally omnivorous and will eat practically any leftovers you give them (but please don't feed them chicken...that's just wrong). By feeding chickens your scraps, they convert your food waste into highly valuable fertilizer that works great in any garden. Think about what you save (enviroment, cost savings to municipalities) and what you get (fertilizer, eggs) when you keeps a small flock.
Learn more about keeping micro flocks of chicken garden helpers, compost creators, bio recyclers, and local food suppliers (eggs!) by picking up this book.
