I grew up on a farm & we had chickens. I have a neighbor who raises chickens right there in his side yard. He has a very nice coop and they are fenced in, since he lives right on the main road. He sells eggs for $1.60 a dozen. That's decent money in hard times like today.
ReplyDeleteWe've been told for the last couple decades or so that eggs are bad for us and many has shunned them for years. We now know that isn't true at all. Organic eggs are invaluable to a healthy diet. Free range eggs have a much higher level of nutrients and protein than store bought eggs.
Eggs don't increase the risk of heart disease for the average person who is not already a high risk. To the contrary, they are nearly a perfect food with a balance of protein and nutrients.
Good article & I hope you enjoy your chickens and fresh eggs!
Thanks for stopping by KD.
ReplyDeleteI have been pricing baby chicks this spring and am about ready to place my order I think. I usually buy thru a place in the mid-west but I found a great local hatchery to buy any kind of chicks I want. They cost about 2-3% more per chick but there is no high-dollar shipping involved so it comes out much cheaper in the long run.
Also, I'm a firm believer in keeping the money in your own community when you can; help your neighbor out, they gotta eat too, you know.
As a freelance writer, I think I will contact her about doing an article or two about her operation. Her husband owned it before they were married and she got in it when they did. He passed last year and she is carrying on the tradition and you gotta admire that.
