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…

July 6, 2008 at 9:11 PM #234127AecetiaParticipantI also noticed the hens had names and according to one of my relatives that keeps chickens, they have personalities. I think the chickens in Temecula would be preferable to most of the college students in the mini dorms, but that is just my bias. The chickens roost at night the students do not.

July 6, 2008 at 9:40 PM #234142dharmagirlParticipantActually, chickens are supposed to be pretty smart.
I think there’s a chance that raising hens would put a stop to my trips to Pollo Loco for-evah. I dont know about you, but I can’t eat pets.
I think that’s why my husband refuses to let me get a pot-bellied pig. He loves his BBQ too much, and is more of a softie than he would have people believe…
