10 Reasons I love Raising Chickens

mr and mrs chicken

  1. Eggs are a great source of protein.
  2. Commercially raised eggs purchased from the store can be months old.
  3. Eggs from my backyard can be minutes old.
  4. Chicken manure is a great additive to my garden soil.
  5. Children can tend to chickens.
  6. Offering my kids real jobs encourages responsibility.
  7. Children feel trusted when they have real jobs.
  8. Chickens love to eat kitchen scraps… reduces waist!
  9. We walk to our egg source, reducing the amount of gas used for transportation.
  10. Chickens are cute.

Do you have chickens? Why do you love raising them?
