Chicken poop is fantastic for the garden. And if you are kind, loving and respectful most of my hens are still laying after 5 years. I have the garden gals( my older girls) and my hip hop hens(the young and fun ones). They are separate to help reduce the sass and attitude.

@bigdawg2011 8 ай бұрын

yeah, our neighbor gave us his hens as he couldnt care for them anymore and they were 6+ years old and still laying until 2 years later when 1 had a stroke and the other stopped laying.

@Cree_Money 7 ай бұрын

Eggs in all females, human and otherwise are finite. Being kind, loving and respectful does not change the number of eggs a chicken has left in the chamber. Proper nutrition will surely enable chickens to lay the maximum number of eggs that they are genetically predisposed to lay. Some lay more frequently than others. If you chicken lays an egg 6 out of 7 days, it will run out of eggs sooner than a chicken that lays 4 out of 7 days. No chicken will run out of eggs in less than 5 years. It's a mathematic impossibility. Restricting food (semi-starving) will reduce the number of eggs laid. That MIGHT increase the years of a chickens productivity, but can not increase the overall number of eggs produced.

The initial investment to get started is a lot, but over time it does pay off, I disagree concerning what you said about eggs. Farm-raised chicken eggs are ten times healthier and safer than store-bought eggs, the price of eggs are going up and soon enough getting eggs in the store is going to be hard to come by. Having your own chickens means you have a secure food source. Also if you do not store your extra eggs by water glassing, you can sell them.

@Gibbypastrami 11 ай бұрын

Unless something else happens, eggs aren’t going anywhere, price hikes are artificial and it’s proven, supply shortages are temporary and artificial as well, or due to outbreaks or some crazy situation and it’ll balance out after awhile Always better to have your own supply tho!

Yes, of course the eggs will be safer and healthier if you raise your own chickens right. The reason I started raising my own was purely taste, though. I had been buying eggs at the grocery store, using them only for baking or binding foods in recipes. I figured I was losing my tastebuds because I was getting old. [I was about 27.] Then one day in the health food store, I picked up a dozen organically raised eggs, even though they cost 4X as much, because what the heck. I was astounded by how good they tasted! That's when I concluded organic was the difference. And I never looked back.

I've nursed gravely injured chickens back to health. I've had to put some down. I've had to clean-up messes left by hawks and coyotes. I've fought escape artists and raccoons and opossums.She's right - EVERYTHING wants to eat chickens. If you're not prepared to deal with the reality of that and all it entails, don't get chickens. But they really are amazing livestock. If you let them forage, they'll eat pest insects like ticks and mosquitos. They'll fertilize your lawn (and your porch). And in my experience, they do better with a rooster so you need to deal with the noises from that. And if you know how to make it, chicken tea fertilizer is the best fertilizer you can get. And for anyone wondering, a chicken's maximum lifespan is around 9 years. Their egg production starts dropping by about 10% per year after age 2. So that means, they should lay eggs their entire life. If you have a prolific layer, they can still produce well up until they die of old age. I have Rhode Island Reds, Easter Eggers and Cinnamon Queens. The Rhode Island Reds are easily the best layers. I once had 9 eggs one day from 6 reds. Reds are poor flyers. My Cinnamon Queens and Easter Eggers are hard to keep in the coop. So if you're looking for the best egg layers that are easy to contain, get reds.

It'll take around 2 years to recoup the 150 I spent on the chickens, hardware wire and screws+ bolts(wood was free).Chicken feed can last quite awhile if they have lots of supplimentary options. I got a half clover lawn that the chickens love to trim. I made a grub farm with a compost bin and cardboard layers separating the compost to allow the flies to lay eggs, the eggs hatch and larva crawl to the opening on the bottom and fall into the protein feeder. They barely need to eat at breakfast and dinnertime because they're usually full. Waste not. 😊

I personally find that, depending on how many chickens you have, they can mostly pay for themselves. We own about 25 free-range chickens, and get atleast a dozen eggs every other day. By selling them for around $4-$5 per carton ($3 less than conventional store bought where Im from) to neighbors and friends, we make about $25 every few weeks, which is enough for two bags of complete feed. As theyre free range, they dont need as much feed in summer and spring, when they lay the most, as they mostly scavenge for bugs and plants, so the feed lasts around 2 - 3 weeks; The same amount of time it takes to make about as much for the next round of feed. Granted, if youre looking for profit, there isnt much there, but if you just want an outdoor pet that, depending on the area and your egg and feed prices, can often pay for their own feed, they're definitely a great choice.

My girls were rescued from a factory farm. One was so bad that apart from afew downy feathers she was completely bald and missing a toe. Also one of mine was an escape artists. She, would be sitting on top of the pen every morning.

Had chickens since..eggs or not we keep them as pets. Most have been rescues and some have been great layers. We have an Easter egger who is 14, been with us since the beginning and she’s still doing great. Chickens are a great first pet in my opinion
