In today’s economy, everyone needs to save as much as one can. There truly is a scarcity of funds in the wallet. In the never ending quest of the individual to save money, people are always looking for shortcuts. For some the answer seems to be lying in chicken ranching. In San Fran, California, people have started to raise chickens in their back yards. The benefits greatly outweigh the costs when it comes to fancifully ferocious fowl farming. The benefits include: Eggs, minimal up-keep (food is cheap for chickens), an interesting pet, free yard fertilizing, and well, food, when they die. Nothing sticks it to the oppressive and chicken torturing restaurants like home grown free range chickens. In regard to cost benefit analysis, the costs are minimal: installment of a chicken coup and slight noise . With the price of food rising and demand not budging, when a popular commodity like eggs can be “home grown” everything seems to be in place. With chicken feed costing about $20 per 50 lb. bag, 3 chickens will produce 2 eggs a day. The Pollack’s say that their 4 chickens produce sixteen eggs a week! You will not be sucking eggs on this deal . If you are interested in raising chickens or just want to see what everyone’s clucking about, pop by and see the article here. So what are your thoughts?
