I'm not sure but she came home from Ireland last year on a self-sufficiency kick, and I wouldn't be surprised if she started an egg farm, stuffed mattresses full of feathers, had a thriving chick hatchery, and sold Sunday roasters!! I think she would probably find a use for the manure too!! Here she her and I me are am:
Artiste:
Merci Front-Ranger !
I think that she has a wonderful idea !
I want to do that too!
But those new so-called neighbours would never allow that,
since they killed all the squirrels !
Why are you allow only 2 animals ?
Here an article on raising chickens in the city:

Couldn't you get her to raise sheep instead of chickens? ;D
Ellemeno:
Chickens in the backyard are getting to be a big thing here in Seattle. I've never been a chicken person.
Brown Eyes:
Parents of a friend of mine started raising chickens a few years ago. They initially got their inaugural batch of chickens from an organization dedicated to preserving rare breeds of chickens. So, when they requested however many "normal" chickens and roosters, the organization gave them 4 extra, free unusual-breed chickens. Those four had really pretty and very different feathers. Her parents did (or do) treat the chickens more or less like pets. They use the eggs, but I don't think they would ever use their chickens for meat.
