[QUOTE="Kismet, post: 487407, member: 8516"] You won't be saving money, if that is part of the motivation. Feed and housing will put you on the red side of your ledger (and you need to keep one to drive home the point that chickens are a luxury item.) The stench has already been mentioned. Then you have predators, and you will have predators--from domestic cats to feral one, wild meat-eaters will make your chickens' house a swing-by dinner must, and the occasional dog will just love chasing squaky feathered things. Best wishes. (By the way, out here in the country, the only folks raising chickens are the transplants from the city, all the dairy and beef farmers don't have the time and the no-return-on-investment attitude to do so. Another point, the meat is cheaper at the store. Again, best wishes. [/QUOTE]
