Raising Chickens for Eggs
I wrote this topic for the purpose of learning about
self-sufficiency through mini-farming, and self-sufficiency, in
my opinion, has no political agendas attached to it. If, for
personal, health, or religious reasons you are opposed to
consuming animal food products, then skip this chapter and
the next one. If you are a meat eater but are understandably
squeamish about eating homegrown eggs or turning animals
into meat, I nevertheless encourage you to continue reading
simply for your own knowledge.
Nothing says “farm” like the sound of a rooster crowing in
the morning, and nothing is more aggravating to neighbors
than a rooster that seems to crow all day, every day. Still,
small livestock have a place on the mini-farm because of the
high-quality protein that they provide. If you currently
purchase meat and eggs, know that homegrown meat and
eggs can be raised at a very low cost that will save you
money.
