I'm taking a class soon on raising poultry. The importance of grass fed chemical free chicken and eggs cannot be stressed enough. More people and cities in America are realizing this and changing the laws to allow more chickens in the city. Many times the law will say no roosters but chickens don't need a rooster to lay eggs. These laws may be handled by the city or the county you live in.

Save kitchen scraps to feed the hens (Cat ref INF13/143 f13)

I've raised chickens in the city, it's fun and interesting to watch them interact. Chickens can have distinct personalities of their own. The eggs and manure for my garden really helped too.
I want to develop a class on raising poultry because I believe we need to take back our food from big profit agriculture. I don't want chemicals in my chickens or in my eggs. I don't want to contribute to animal abuse perpetrated on factory farmed chickens. Chickens are easy and fun to have in your backyard. I think almost everyone should think about doing this. In this class we will talk about housing, diseases, and daily care of Chickens, Geese and Turkeys.
