Description: Townsville City Council allows you to keep backyard chooks. And they make wonderful garden companions and kids pets.
Why I love this solution: Chooks provide an egg a day (per chook!) when on the lay. They can free-roam with very little supervision and maintenance and put themselves to bed at night. They don't jump fences once accustomed to the yard. And they don't need to be locked up at night as they aren't preyed on my by snakes or foxes in Townsville's suburbs. They are easy to purchase and supply at local rural suppliers like Lamberts.
