Yeah if you can make those filthy birds lay reliably and not escape and destroy your garden on a regular basis I'll be impressed. It's like the stupid things mature and start laying just in time for winter to come and egg production to drop, then as soon as winter is over they decide to drop production to molt. Then they're old and they don't want to lay as much. I'm about to just start stewing them.
I've been trying to get my family interested in this very thing. I have the space, except I have bears, fox and other predators that make this a little more difficult.
Highly accelerated lead makes predators easier.

Some of them can be trapped, but it's better to choose a more discriminating option when feasible so you dont trap pets by mistake.
My wife used to have a coworker who had about 4 chickens in her back yard. She got so many eggs that she gave dozens to us. They were the most delicious eggs I've ever tasted. Very different than store eggs - even free-range eggs from the store are tasteless compared to these. She did lose some to coyotes so you need to build a secure coop, although nothing will stop a bear.
High velocity heavy metal poisoning will stop everything from a chipmunk up to a PCP-fueled nog.
The previous owner of my house in the city had chickens and she told me she had a few niggers tried to steal them lololol. Chicken isn’t safe anywhere haha.
I don't have any bears myself, but I do have some fisher cats and some other weasels to worry about.
Ours lay only about 25 % of their Summer product in Winter. Many thin shells too. Sad.

That article is from the state I live in. Auburn, Maine. There are lots of non Whites here. It bothers me.
