Backyard Chickens

I don't have, but I'm actively considering a small patch of land for a sustainable personal project. I prize self sufficiency. Bonus is having food of known origin. Cherry on top would be spending time with my family like you are. I'm grateful to have the opportunity.
Issue I had was after raising them from chicks and tending them every day I couldn't bring myself to kill them 😂. I'm just not cut out to be a chicken farmer. I ate the heck out of some eggs but when I decided to get rid of them I had a guy that wanted them to come get them. I would imagine they lived out the rest of their lives on a big ranch and all died of natural causes. 😂
