CHICKENS 101 5 CONVINCING REASONS YOU SHOULD CONSIDER RAISING BACKYARD CHICKENS, BESIDES THE FACT THAT WE LIVE IN FREAKING ADAIRSVILLE, GA.
PEST CONTROL
CHICKENS LOVE TO EAT PROTEIN-PACKED INSECTS, WHICH WORKS OUT WELL BECAUSE THEY CAN SERVE AS THE ORGANIC PEST-CLEANUP CREW IN OUR GARDEN AND DEVOUR TICKS ON OUR PROPERTY. THEY ALSO LOVE TO EAT MANY WEEDS, AND SERVE AS POST-HARVEST GARDEN BED GLEANERS, POTENTIALLY MAKING MY WORK AS A GARDENER VERY, VERY EASY.
VEGGIES + COMPANIONSHIP
THE HEALTH OF OUR FOOD IS TIED DIRECTLY TO THE HEALTH OF OUR SOIL. CHICKENS PERFORM MULTIPLE FUNCTIONS THAT CAN TURN PARTS OF OUR BORING YARDS INTO FERTILE GARDEN PATCHES.. THEY'RE NOT COMPLETELY NOISE-FREE, BUT HENS SURE DO MAKE CUTE NOISES, ADDING ENTERTAINMENT VALUE FOR OUR WHOLE FAMILY! CASSIE WILL LOVE THEM!
WE CAN SAVE THE PLANET
BECAUSE FACTORY-FARM OPERATIONS PREFER PRETTY MUCH THE SAME TYPE OF HIGH-VOLUME LAYING BREEDS, THE PRESERVATION OF RARE, HERITAGE BREEDS IS THREATENED. IF WE LOSE THESE BREEDS, WE WIPE OUT GENETIC MATERIAL FROM A SPECIES, PERHAPS LOSING GENES THAT COULD SAVE THE POULTRY INDUSTRY ONE DAY IF THE STANDARD PRODUCTION BREEDS FALL SUSCEPTIBLE TO ILLNESS.
CHICKENS = HAPPINESS
EVER HEAR OF OXYTOCIN, THE LOVE HORMONE? IT'S A STRESS-LOWERING CHEMICAL IN YOUR BODY THAT'S UNLEASHED WHEN YOU HUG SOMEONE YOU LOVE, OR EVEN PET YOUR DOG OR CAT. ANYONE WHO HAS RAISED CHICKENS CAN PROBABLY CONTEND THE SAME EFFECT HOLDS TRUE FOR HENS. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THERE ARE ACTUALLY HENS EMPLOYED AS THERAPY CHICKENS!
EGGS ARE DELICIOUS
DO ANY OF OUR CURRENT PETS ACTUALLY PRODUCE SOMETHING EDIBLE? OR PAY THEIR OWN WAY? NO. THEY DON'T. CHICKENS DO, AND ONCE YOU'VE DINED ON THEIR EGGS YOU'LL NEVER REACH FOR A DOZEN IN THE SUPERMARKET AGAIN. THEY'RE SO MUCH MORE FLAVORFUL, IN NO SMALL PART BECAUSE YOU'LL EAT THEM WHEN THEY'RE ONLY MINUTES OR HOURS OLD, NOT WEEKS OR MONTHS.Â
RIP RICK ROSS
??? - 2012
REMEMBER RICK ROSS, THE STRAY ROOSTER THAT CAME TO MY HOUSE IN 2012? HE WAS SO NICE AND I LOVED HIM UNTIL HE GOT BRUTALLY KILLED BY A COYOTE. WE SHOULD GET CHICKENS TO HONOR HIS LIFE. IT WOULD BE LIKE A TRIBUTE. WE CAN EVEN GET A PLAQUE FOR THE CHICKEN COOP AS A TRIBUTE LIKE THEY DO ON PARK BENCHES.
IT WILL MAKE ME HAPPY nI e wh py e tim y hap e On ver s wa
I REALLY WANT CHICKENS. I LITERALLY MADE A PRESENTATION ON HOW BADLY I WANT THEM, SO PLEASE CONSIDER MY PROPOSITION. THEY ARE CUTE, THEY PRODUCE FOOD, AND THEY'RE RELATIVELY EASY TO CARE FOR. WE HAVE 7 ANIMALS RIGHT NOW, WHAT'S A FEW MORE?
