I live in the boon docks, the country, I have a small hobby farm: Cow,
chickens, beehives and a dog on twenty acres. I use to live in the city.

However, in Michigan, the detroit metro area cities, lots sizes small as
100x50 feet, allows hens. Ferndale and Madison Heights are examples of
near by communities that allow hens. I know people that have chickens as
well as bee hives in these cities. For names, call up a beekeeper that
maybe in phone book and you will find out for yourself.

A chicken guy could sell his extra eggs to a neighbor for $3.50 dozen.
Raw honey for $10 per pound. Now raw milk... Is another story.
