Who Wants to Raise City Chickens With Me?

I'm the person that Dorrie mentioned with the live streaming video camera on my backyard hens. So, if you can't keep chickens, but love them, you can watch mine. (www.hencam.com)
As far as keeping chickens in the city - anyone with even a slice of a backyard used to do it. The Biggle Poultry Book, published in 1895, remains a useful resource. Mr. Biggle called it the "urban hennery." I love that term.
Some hotels used to keep their own chickens, too. I've got a postcard from about 70 years ago, of the "Poultry Farm and Garden on the Biltmore Roof - The Providence-Biltmore." They even had a restaurant up there, so you could dine next to the hens.
