Guardian: Americans are raising chickens in their apartments amid egg shortages
US residents have started raising chickens in their apartments amid a shortage of eggs and rising prices, The Guardian reports.
The publication's article notes that about 84 million chickens are kept in private households across the country. This is roughly equivalent to the number of dogs and cats kept as pets.
Some Florida cities now limit the number of backyard chickens you can own by law. The city of Clermont allows up to five hens per household, while officials in Whalen say they don't have enough staff to regulate farms.
The US has previously recorded a rise in egg prices due to bird flu. It was also reported that Ukraine is ready to send large batches of eggs to the US amid the shortage.
It was previously reported that a Florida man who was on a meat-heavy diet developed strange yellowish cholesterol deposits on his skin.
