If not, maybe look into getting the regulations changed. I know many communities are beginning to allow backyard chickens when they once didn't. If enough people showed an interest - even if it only means changing the parameters - they might sanction it.

And if you're on the fence whether to get your own chickens or not, it's a great way to test the waters too. Happy chickens, happy eggs!

Patti Moreno, over at GardenGirlTV, shares a step-by-step video how to make a chicken tractor that fits over your raised bed...In between crop rotation, let the chickens do their part to 'clean' it out and leave manure behind!

You asked for tips... There's a fun website called "The City Chicken" that will help you get started. "Chicken tractors" for even just a couple of hens are feasible for almost anyone. There's another website, "Henspa" that makes a "stealth" mobile coop that looks like a trash can, if you really want to go rogue. Nice story!

I'm with you, I love what these folks are doing. And the fact that this idea could be started in many other communities. Very beneficial to many...to the volunteers, to the farmer/grower, and to the CSA. Thanks, Moni! I’m with you, I love what these folks are doing.
