What are your thoughts on suburban chicken ownership? I'm wholly uninterested, I need another creature to keep alive like I need another hole in the head, but my wife and daughter are really into the idea.

That's essentially what I have been doing. You'd be surprised how many predators still roam the suburbs though. I have lost chickens to raccoons, opossums, hawks, dogs and foxes.

My only real suggestion is check your zoning. I was operating in a kind of grey area but I have known people who had to get rid of their chickens to avoid daily fines. Getting well set up for chickens is a bit of work, I wouldn't want to do that in vain.
