In 2006, my Wife & I moved from the Big City to The Woods in our commitment to live as Sustainably and Naturally as possible, and to work at Producing MORE than we Consume.
We were also very disgusted with the Factory Food Production, Handling, Packaging, and Distribution system.

Keeping Chickens was a clinical decision,
and they have proved to be the most economical resource for Year Round Nutritious, Uncontaminated food.
We really saw them as a means to an end.

We never realized how much of an enjoyable part of our daily life they would become.
When kept in an uncrowded, natural habitat,
they are clean, beautiful, intelligent, social, quirky, animals with individual personalities.
Our daily interaction with them has brought us much enjoyment and enlightenment.

Good Luck with your birds.
