Urban chicken raising has become a popular hobby in Seattle recently. In my neighborhood alone there are at least four homes with avian occupants. Chickens are relatively easy to care for, act as natural fertilizers and pest control in your garden. Best of all they supply beautiful, hormone free, humane eggs, which are naturally higher in vitamins and lower in bad cholesterol.
