Keeping chickens
Keeping backyard chickens has once again become extremely popular. With rising food prices, uncertainty about chemicals & additives in our food, and the way 95% of chickens are inhumanly treated with intensive “cram ‘em in cages” farming… it’s no wonder. Intensive chicken farming is just plain wrong, but I know you already feel the same way…
When you keep chickens at home, you never have to worry about old stale eggs that have lost most of their nutritional value, and more importantly, you’ll never be supporting the intensive chicken farming industry again. You just can’t beat that.
However, while most people have good intentions, they also have a tendency to rush into chicken keeping. They think that keeping chickens in their own backyards or on a small rural plot is like, well, chicken feed.
Unfortunately keeping chickens in your own backyard is not as easy as keeping the shrink wrapped variety that might often be accustomed to visiting your freeze.
However… the good news is that IT CAN BE that easy when you’re armed with the right knowledge.
