You mean aside from the pet benefits & being able to watch them in the garden
* I walk up the garden for fresh eggs.
* I plan to start selling hatching eggs soon & fresh eggs (thus generating a small income).
* I get free chicken meat from up the garden.
They are just amazing birds, I can't understand why more people don't keep them. Although if the tax they wacked on the E - Cigs in the UK is anything to go by, we could all end up paying "livestock tax" or something ridiculous because if everyone was doing it, do you really reckon the government would sit back & let shop sales fall with no return? Nope, we would all be taxed in some form or another.
The reality is, as a world, we don't really need money anymore because we are not dragging our knuckles anymore, we just need the initiative, they facilities & for people to care more. If people cared more, things would still get done like building homes etc because we are human & we care about others & the next generation.
The important things would still get done & as a whole community, everyone would benefit & attitudes would improve dramatically if more people knew others truly cared & weren't just doing things for the money. People would be able to study & follow their interests without it having to be all about money in their futures.
Money may have increased productivity as an incentive in the past, but we are all smarter now & human welfare should be as much off an incentive.
We are all capable of growing our own food by either running communal farms or in our own backyards.
I know some would disagree, its just my view of how things could be.
The ones who would be the worst of are those who would never let it happen.
A lot of people do volunteer work that they enjoy, think how it could be if everyone could do that.
