Chickens are a fun way to start on the path to self sustainability. I got chickens because I was tired of reading about the abhorrent husbandry practices of the big egg industries, and even though I could buy “cage free” eggs in the store, I still felt it would be better to have my own. I had a small shed that I had built, originally for a very old and very loved horse and when she went on her way, the shed and the subsequent fence that was built housed eight cats for a time and then when the cats moved out, the chickens moved in.
Now we have eggs that I collect every day, fresh, not treated or washed in chemicals, from hens that graze the yard, eat bugs and get to act as nature intended them to act.
