husband，mal，built a small coop，which had a fencedin outdoor run.jill also bought a feeder，a waterer and organic chicken feed.jill says you just have to make sure they have enough water and food，and collect the eggs every day.because of the urban setting，her chickens are not freerange as much as shed like，so she also feeds her chickens with table scraps and earthworms.“its amazing，”she says. “the eggs really add up in a hurry.i give them to friends who appreciate foods grown or produced locally and the response from them has been nothing but positive.”“its much easier than i ever thought it would be，and we absolutely love the chickens.best of all，theyve provided our 11yearold son，jamie，with a valuable lessonto see that not all food comes from a grocery store，and that it takes a little
