Question by Patti: Seniors, would it be worth it to have backyard chickens if it were allowed in the city?
I live in the suburbs and my city is considering allowing people to raise them in their backyards. Organic eggs with nice orange yolks sound great to me.
Eggs do taste different, the yolks are orange instead of pale yellow and higher in Vitamin A. My coconut cream pies were bright yellow from the naturally colored yolks.
Mike, I have to smell dog crap when the breeze is just right and listen to barking from my neighbor’s dogs, what’s the difference?
