Message: [QUOTE="fatlucy, post: 3540237, member: 6189"] Our neighbors have about a dozen. We have a tight knit neighborhood of 5 houses and we all give them our compost minus the things chickens can’t eat. You’d be surprise what chickens will eat! They give us all eggs. The eggs are much better tasting than the organic pasture raised eggs we buy at the store with deep orange yolks for $7/dozen. One was recently taken down by a fox despite then having a burly pit bull (he was inside going batsh!t when the fox attacked), one lost to a hawk and two just up and died. We love the eggs and usually walk over everyday to feed them our scraps in person. They come running and it’s really nice participating in raising food. We take turns Taking care of them when they go out of town....back in the day when people went out of town. [/QUOTE]
