Have a great day!

If chickens were allowed in our area, we’d have chickens. They are awesome! And eggs! yes please!

I have always wanted chickens for fresh eggs. With this info, maybe my husband will say yes.
As they say; farm fresh eggs are the best kind and there right! So I can totally back this! Thanks so much for sharing!
We have chickens and we love them. My oldest daughter is always out there with the chickens each day. We love watching them run around and we also love collecting eggs.
There were a lot of questons answered in this post, and alot of things I learned along the way. Thanks
My father-in-law raises chickens in his backyard, and with that we also get to enjoy farm fresh eggs. 🙂

I wish that I could have chickens. Our landlord won’t allow it. Plus, the houses are too close together.

I’d love to keep chickens. I’m hoping I can when we move.
I just love this and so wish we could have chickens but we are in a development and they do not allow them. We honestly have lots of wildlife too including bears and bobcats so it would be hard to keep them safe too. Love this and love seeing you chickens! I will live vicariously though you 😉
Here in my country, we have chickens too, and ducks! I absolutely love this article. Thanks for sharing
our neighbors have chickens and we love hearing them (and every once in a while peeping in to have a look).. and i do know from my neighbors and other friends who keep chickens that they will agree with everything you said here
Being able to have lots of ethically sourced eggs at once is reason enough in my books! I also miss having chickens!
