Thanks! Predators could be a definite problem, of course. I’d have to find hen housing that was hawk and coyote proof. I’ve seen hawks up here that are larger than a lot of toddlers. Apparently, hawks attack hens.

There is great information on this site, too: http://urbanchickens.org/

Hens would be a lot of work, but I’m going to explore this idea because fresh eggs are amazing.

I hate spending $4/dozen for free-range eggs – esp when I’m not sure if they are truly “free range.” If you’ve ever seen a depressing commerical chicken operation, you’d want to eat free range eggs, too…
