Raising chickens for eggs
Living the Country Life Radio Program
Not so long ago, chickens were part of nearly every farm, and anyone who lived in the country (and some people who lived in town!) would raise chickens for eggs. If you're considering raising chickens, it's important to first decide what kind of eggs you want. Do you prefer large or small eggs? Plain white, or a fancier color like brown or even blue? And how many eggs can you use per week? Once you've decided on a type of chicken, you'll need to make sure you have proper accommodations for them. Then, in no time at all, you'll be enjoying fresh eggs with your morning toast.
