Look into deep bedding for smell, also keep them fresh water and food for at least 12 hours a day, if you want to go further look into putting rabbits over the top of them and Bam you got high protein meat, eggs, and an absolute great fertilizer for a garden!

Here you go: https://www.greenecountymo.gov/files/file.php?id=1571

On pages 25, 26, and 27 it has the formula for how many animals you can have on your land. Basically on page 27 it says if you have less than 2.9 acres, you can't have anything that's defined as livestock (what specific animals are considered livestock are listed on page 26 and includes chickens).

Last time I moved I checked Craigslist for moving boxes. Picked up a bunch for free from someone who’d just finished moving.

WalMart def gives them away. You might run into a different policy store-to-store, but it's a lot about timing. I know when I was a supervisor there, I was giving customers tips on which boxes were strong or weak or could stack safely.

By the way, it's the boxes that laundry detergent come in. Those can be packed with the heaviest stuff and still stack a mile high. Perfect for dishes or glassware.

I've never been denied boxes when going in person and asking rando worker. If they have them they are more than ok with giving them away.

The trick is to also walk around as they're stocking and grab them then. Don't expect them to go look for boxes for you. Try this at Lowes.

I'll see if I can find it. The only reason I know about it is because a coworker that lives in Greene county was cited and had to get rid of his chickens. This was in October, so I don't believe it has changed.

I live in Christian county myself, but I'll see what I can find and ask my coworker if he still has the citation because it referred to specific laws.

Dollar General typically has a bunch of them outside So provided they've not been rained on you can get a s*** ton of boxes for free. You might ask the associate inside and just be really polite and clean up after yourself.

My last move I did this exact thing and got 98% of my boxes for free there.

Brown Derby and other liquor stores give them away. They’re great for packing glasses/ dishes because some have dividers.

Chickens aren't very noisy if kept happy. As long as you spoil them and give them enough space outside as well as roosting space inside, and keep their area cleaned up and fed regularly, they don't tend to make a whole lot of noise.

They do work in schedules. If you're an hour late to feed (assuming you don't free feed), they'll let everyone know.

Just my .02.

2 Chicks and a Head Shop in Ozark (near Lamberts). We literally give them away. I think I've got 3 or 4 right now with more expected today and throughout next week.

Cesar’s Old Mexico - Try their tacos! Best authentic tacos w a bit of flair in town. Must try their Lengua taco, it literally taste like Pho that melts in your mouth. If you aren’t adventurous, their Pastor taco is extremely flavorful with chopped pineapples inside them.

El Champu Food Truck - Best Birria tacos!! It literally like a meaty grilled cheese. 🔥
