I live in a subdivision so we can't have chickens but about 1/2 mile away there is a chicken farmer. Early in the morning we wake up to a faint sound of roosters and chickens. Just far enough to enjoy but not close enough to bug us.
My parents were city farmer. We had 1/4 acre and had chickens and ducks.
We like to travel to often to raise chickens, ducks or rabbits. It is hard enough to find cat and dog sitters.
