Default Keeping chickens in Edmonton

Anyone on here keep chickens?

I'm gettin a bit fed up of not being able to buy fresh eggs, so I was thinking of getting some chickens. We shop at Sobeys, and the eggs are nearly always stale when we buy them. They have long Best Before dates on though, so it's not like they've gone off- they're just not as fresh as I'd like.

The eggs I had this morning (bought last week) were watery, but are apparently still good until next month!

We keep chickens, in Canada, if not in Edmonton. I'm about to expand the coop so we can double the size of our flock as we can't keep up with the demand for eggs. Selling eggs is pleasingly like selling crack, once people have had a real egg they can't go back to the supermarket ones.
