Why do you raise chickens?

[TheChickenGirl16]

My dad won’t let me have a dog.
Chickens are a great outlet for all the tanked up affection I have been saving ever since I was a little girl wanting a pet.
It wasn’t hard convincing my parents to let me get chickens, SINCE they lay eggs!

Mom told me not to dare tell dad that I call them PETstock!lololllll

I also really like the eggs! It is so satisfying to bring in a basket filled with 14-17 eggs every day!

Real Organic eggs, fertilizer, SHTF protein source.

...initially they were cuties hatching out of the incubator from a nursing home, all those yellow fluffy got me started.

Chickens are great therapy, slow down time for me to smell the roses...or their morning stinking poops

Came for fertilizer for the garden and fresh eggs, stayed because they are amazing animals with hilarious antics and who wouldn't be happy seeing a flock of (mostly) bearded hens run up to you because they're wondering what you're doing

Cheaper then therapy
