    The Feed and Yolk Experiment: Chicken feed and dark orange yolk color

    I've had my chickens for about 6 months now. When my husband first heard that I wanted chickens in Chicago, he was more than a little confused, but after a trip to Europe, and having the fresh, rich, dark orange yolked eggs there, he changed his mind, and jumped onboard.

We have had the replacement chicken, which...

    What veggies DON'T chickens eat?

    I am a soon to be 1st time backyard chicken owner, and will be (hopefully) able to adopt fully grown egg laying chickens mid-spring here in Chicago. I am planning to start with only 2 hens. I have heard that chickens are very good for your garden, that they keep pests away, and the manure is...
