Why Chickens?

This is a great question, why on earth did we want chickens?

Free Eggs! Okay this ended up being a joke, chickens are not cheap! The idea of free eggs quickly wares off when you have to build them a Chicken coop, then you need to build them a run, and they need food, beding, treats, heat and lights in the winter. So when you own chickens free eggs end up being the most expressive eggs you have ever had.

Entertainment Factor! Chickens are crazy smart and more curious than the cat. They all have different personalities, and are a blast to watch. Some are friendly and want to be held, and others not so much. But they all come running if they think you are going to give them a treat.

Because we can! We wanted to get a taste of farm life, dip our toe in. What better way to do that then to start with chickens. We thought this would be a great way to see if the farm live was for us. If it was then in a few years we would look at moving to the county to have our own farm and expand our livestock.
