City Chicken Ordinances around Greater Charleston, SC

Fresh eggs are just one gift from city chickens.
What urban homestead would be complete without backyard chickens?
1.Fresh eggs from a city chicken taste better than any store bought egg.
2. Chicken poop is a nitrogen rich compost addition that helped keep our greenhouse hot during the coldest winter days.
NOTE: Fresh chicken manure is too strong to use directly on plants and must be composted first. Also for food safety, Clemson Extension recommends that composted chicken poop be used only on crops that take three months or more to reach maturity.
3. If you have the luxury of allowing your chickens to roam through your garden, they eat most garden pests.
If you see a backyard chicken coop in your family's future, make sure your city ordinances allow it.
In September 2010, I added a post to G's Lazy Urban Garden Almanac that offered city ordinance information for North Charleston, Charleston, Summerville and Mt. Pleasant.
