Not usually. Roosters are noisy and cannot be trained to us a litter box.
Most apartment building managers/owners would have a problem with a tenant keeping a rooster.
Even caged they will crow loudly at all hours.
If you just gotta have one ,best to find a backyard for it.
I'd say no - she'll need natural light, won't be able to behave naturally and her droppings will attract flies. All in all - NO!
If you want them to eat your vegetables.
If you keep chickens in your garden or even let them in the garden they will eat your garden crop.
Yes, they do. Tomatoes are a favorite.
chickens have mud baths to get the tiny parasites off their feathers. If your chicken is having mud baths in your garden it would be wise to cover up that place and show your chicken another one. If you don't have anywhere else it would not be wise for you to keep chickens for mud bathing is a vital thing.
Nope, not yet anyway
Yes, chickens are the exterminators of the garden. They love bugs and slugs and worms but be aware they like a little salad with their meat and you will lose fresh greens along with the weeds and insects.

No not at all, in fact free range chickens will wipe out your garden faster than the occasional grazing deer. Deer are pretty selective in a garden and not at all nervous around chickens but a chicken flock will scratch and hunt everything green then root around in the destruction for bugs.
Well at the moment we have our four chickens tethered by one of their legs on the front lawn. It is to keep them away from my garden and hostas as well as from scratching up my flower garden. They seem to be content.
If the garage has no light (windows) then i wouldn't keep them in there that long. Maybe a few days as chickens need sunlight to lay eggs, and if you have a car in the garage then i wouldn't keep them in there at all. Chickens would prefer fresh air and some daylight so its not an ideal place to keep them, they also like wandering around the garden finding worms and insects. The garage cant give them this.
For residential areas, a person wishing to keep chickens in a back garden, must check with the local community laws. 1. Some areas do not allow residents within the town or community limits to keep any livestock, including chickens. 2. Others will allow chickens for egg production on the condition that no roosters are allowed, since roosters are the noisy members of the chicken flock. 3. Finally there is the chance that the area has no laws governing small livestock in backyards, and the chicken owner will have to rely on the wishes of his near neighbors as to whether or not he can keep roosters in his flock.
Yes, they do. Tomatoes are a favorite.
My chickens eat snails. Chickens will eat most insects commonly found in the garden.
