POLL: Why do you keep chickens - eggs, meat, show, pet, other?

we "rescued" our first 5 hens! our house seems to be the last best place to spend whatever days you have left if you are an animal, dogs, cats, chickens and God only knows what will make its way here in the future. guess my husband thought I needed more things to do during the day. honestly, i enjoy the birds immensely. I dont usually get out much in winter but because of the chickens I must go out and take care of them. We like the eggs, and soon hopefully we will try the meat birds. I'd rather have chickens than cats! Love cats but have become allergic to them and I DETEST having to clean and change the litter box all the time.

Eggs mainly. (I have more customers than eggs right now.)

and garden fertilizer.

Always considered doing some birds for meat, but haven't gone there yet.
