Hi All,
My name is Clara and I live in Manteca, CA. Since I started staying home to raise babies 3 years ago I have learned not only how to cook and keep a household but also gardening, soap making and canning, I also have a direct sales business with Clever Container. My daughter and son are 3 and 1 in September this year. My goal is to find ways to supplement our income without missing out on precious time with my children and husband. I want to raise chickens to have fresh eggs daily. It really bothers me that the eggs in the supermarket are so expensive, I prefer to buy USDA organic eggs but for +$4 a dozen it's hard. The bad thing about eating foods with added hormones and antibiotics such as the eggs that are priced more fairly, is that even though they don't necessarily make you sick when you eat them, you are putting things in your body that are not good for you. With my two babies, I worry that they could possibly get sick from the foods that are contaminated. I don't think that our food industry is regulated enough and I think the big companies that farm chickens treat them badly and the same with cows and pigs. I think it is too easy for contaminated food to make it to our tables and we can't do much about it. That is why I grow much of my own vegetables and want chickens.

from Ohio. So glad to have you aboard. I just like knowing what my chickens are eating.
