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

Great list post! No, I don’t have chickens. They’re not allowed in my neighborhood. 31 Days to Build a Better Blog is good – I’ve only ever got half-way through, but I’m going to go back to it!

Love the list post!
I do not have chickens. But I have massive chicken envy. Sadly, I don’t have space in my current home. But one day, I really hope to have my own flock. In the meantime, I am glad to be able to get eggs from farmers I trust at my local farmer’s market.

Great ideas there, thanks. I honestly took the plunge and got me some chickens last week! Now I have more eggs than I know what to do with!. You might like these egg recipes.
