Raising chickens and children --- a good thing for sure.

Well they were my inspiration for starting this whole mini farm we have going. I wanted them to better understand where our food actually comes from, not just some shelf in a grocery store. I wanted to have healthier food available for them. I am not some crazy doomsday prepper but I feel that everyone should have a base knowledge of how to provide for yourself just in case anything should ever happen.

Adorable picture!

Kids and chickens just seem to go together, don't they! Thanks for sharing.

I am trying to find a way to incorporate them into a science project for the kids. We are thinking about comparing incubators to hatching with broody hens.

We are raising chickens for the same reasoning. There is such a huge disconnect between people and their food supply. I think that disconnect allows for some disparaging disparities in livestock care.
