City Chickens Need Room.

Whether the backyard poultry keeper should try to renew his flock either by hatching and rearing chicks or by purchasing and rearing day-old chicks, is an open question. Raising chicks should not be attempted unless a plot can be provided separate from that to which there is grass or where a supply of green feed can be furnished. Hatching under these conditions can best be done with hens.
