MFirst Things First: Why Chickens
Why Have Chickens?
Why raise chickens? Because they're the pet that makes you breakfast. They bring home
good food
and
belly laughs. Chickens are quirky, beautiful, and oddly clever. They come
in countless colors, shapes, and varieties, and there's not a culture on the planet that
doesn't raise them. These hardy birds will teach you basic livestock handling and amaze
you with their individual character traits. More good news: They don't break the bank. A
handful of chicks will cost less to purchase than a large pizza and require less effort than
your house cat.
You in so far? Good.
