Question by T.H.: Backyard Chickens?
I have recently found out that it is legal to have chickens within city limits where I live, and being something I have always wanted to have we are going to build a coop and add 2 chickens to our family. My question is what breeds are the best for this, as well as good egg layers? Is there something I can do the environment to make them better layers? Thanks for the advice!
