some of what you will read is...
Have you considered chickens as a means of producing your own food? Have you looked at the stores and seen the price of eggs, the price of chicken and wondered aloud why you don't raise your own? Have you ordered poultry catalogs, but never ordered poultry because it seemed too difficult and complicated, or too time consuming? Along with rabbits, poultry is one of the most kept food production animals on the homesteads across America.

Raising poultry is a great way to put food on the table. It takes minutes per day and not a lot of expense. Once grown, chickens love goodies like garden scraps and kitchen waste. Most of all, you'll find that store eggs don't begin to compare with eggs from your own hens.
