We're lucky here in Madison, in that the City allows keeping up to 5 chickens per household. I have so many friends that keep them, they're usually giving the extra eggs away.

There are a number of local egg producers around the county as well. They cost more, but the chickens are free-range. Most of the coop groceries and health food stores stock them.
