I haven’t been without a flock of chickens for years. They keep our kitchen supplied with fresh eggs, our yard cut down on grasshoppers and bugs, and put a smile on my face with their silly antics. Our flock had dwindled down to a small number earlier this spring and after a weak moment in a farm store, I caved and brought home two boxes of fluffy new babies.
Regardless of where your chickens come from, they’re a great easy-care option for somebody looking to start raising their own food. Use these resources to help get your flock started!
