Urban hen-keeping is romantic in a back-to-the-land kind of way. But it’s surprisingly practical, if you’re prepared to care for your brood. Chickens are a natural continuation of the kitchen garden. They make short work of kitchen scraps and garden pests, and enrich the soil. Perhaps most importantly, they make great pets with the added benefit of providing nutritious, freshly-laid, free-range eggs.
