I have zero land so chickens are kind of out for me. I've been considering coturnix quail though, specifically the Texas A&M variety. They're supposed to have more white meat.

havent raised chickens, but turkeys for a couple years. TOO many preditors here. Turkeys will lay like chickens though, as long as you keep pulling the eggs. I've gotten 5-6 dozen jumbo's from each hen. . Oh yea, we are not urban, but I figured most people didnt know turkeys will keep laying too. Edited by sphenicie, Jan 15 2012, 09:52 AM.

Friend, you don't need any land to raise chickens. They can exist safely and cleanly in your living room. Have you ever heard of The Chicken Diaper? http://chickendiapers.com/ ![]() Edited by BillHoo, Jan 15 2012, 05:31 PM.

Even when the law is on your side, there's a neighborhood busybody who wants to call the cops! Luckily, the police and Animal Control Officer know the deal! Animal Case 11-18235 600 Block Tapawingo Road, SW November 9 12:00 p.m. A citizen reported that a resident was housing chickens on his property in a coup and believed that this was a violation of law. ACO Barker investigated and found that the chickens were being well cared for and that there was no violation of any animal laws. The complainant was told to contact the Town of Vienna Zoning Department to inquire about the unsightly pen. 500 block of Kingsley Road, SW November 10 12:00 p.m. A resident reported that a neighbor was housing chickens on his property. ACO Barker investigated and determined that the animals are actually ducks and they live with a rabbit in a pen. There was no violation of law. |

That's the problem with HOA communities. They're a private corporation and can operate with their own laws within a town. |
