This post was supposed to be about How To Raise Chicks or How To Convince Your Spouse That Raising Chickens In The Backyard Is A Good Idea. But I thought there are few other pressing issues first. This post is about the fundamental reason that a person would want to raise chickens in their backyard. Food. Plain and simple. Food. Healthy food. Yes, baby chickens are cute. Very cute. And hens are quite simply so wonderful that it's obvious they are a gift from God. Truly a gift. But the bottom line is this ... home raised eggs are better for you and better tasting. Happy Chickens Lay Better Eggs. 'Cus I said so. See below a photo of a store bought egg (God only knows how old this thing was) and an egg that one of my real estate clients gave me from one of her home raised hens. You will notice quite a difference ...
This is one of the things that sold me on backyard chickens. Yum Yum.
If you need any more incentive, nutrition-wise, check out this frittatta I made from our 6 month old Black Copper Maran eggs that were only 1-5 days old ...
Well crud, can't find that pic. Just take my word for it that the color of that frittatta was a testimony to omega. Not to mention it was delicioso. Seriously.
Okay, I promise I will tell you tomorrow how to convince your honeybunny that chickens really do have a special space in your backyard.
See ya manana.
