  1. There’s a phone app to make sure you don’t forget to secure your chickens at night. See SunsetReminder on the Android Market.

  2. Leghorns (White), rhode island reds, or any “hybrids” don’t mix them up with random mixes though. They’re usually named stuff like ‘Goldline’ or ‘Gold star’, speckledy, blackrocks. Although hybrids lay lots in the first 1-2 years, they slow down. Pure breeds are the way to go because they lay for 4-5 years.

  4. This wasn’t the best example for urban chickens. The run doesn’t seem secure enough to keep a fox out. There’s no point in trying to eat egg layers either, hardly any meat on them. Especially on that Polish chicken. Try and find one of them farms that takes in “retired” chickens.

  6. 400 pounds for that box they live in, are you bloody kidding me. what a rip off. seemed like this whole video was just an advertisement, forget the ones splashed all over the top of it.
    If you really want to keep chickens in the city you dont have to spend 500 quid to get started, thats bloody rediculous
