Thanks so much for the great information about backyard chickens. I have been thinking about getting some and I’ll be going to your blog for references. I love your blog and have really enjoyed reading it. I look forward to every new post!

Hi. I saw your post on Fight Back Friday. I absolutely LOVE raising chickens. Having fresh, real eggs available is pure joy. Its a great place to start if you want to eat healthier, support humane animal husbandry and grow your own food. I’m glad to know I’m in good company!

Oh! I am officially jealous. I sooo want chickens, but um, we’re in a condo with no yard. But if we ever get one, I’m coming back here and rereading. (Yes, I read it all through. Even though I have no yard. That’s how interested I am in this idea.)

I just started a new health and fitness blog and one of the things I plan to focus on is nutrition and Real Food. My latest post discusses the benefits of butter and talks about how disgusting margarine really is. Yech.

I have to charge so little because lots of people around here have chickens and eggs. Kentucky is a mix of rural and city life, I guess. Everywhere you go is near the country.

I can’t believe that you only charge $2 a dozen! To get farm fresh eggs out here (in Colorado) (they are organic though) is $4.50 a dozen! All the more reasons I want chickens, though we are limited to 4 hens, in our city I know once I get 4, I’m going to want a bunch more… I guess we just don’t belong in suburbia! thanks for the post- very informative!

Posted a recipe for making brisket in the crock pot. A great way to keep the kitchen cool on those hot, summer days! Thanks, Kristen! .-= Karen´s last blog post ...The Week in Food =-.

a $1 dozen?

What a horrible price for the hardships that those poor commercial raised birds have to endure….we should all be paying more in money for the forgiveness of the torturous life they live.

Backyard chickens are awesome to have. They are happy as they scavenge and chase bugs. I know I feel better knowing that some of the food I eat is treated with respect, too.

I think that this post will make everyone want chickens
My sister has chicken and I just think that they are so neat. My parents are getting some soon and my 3 year old and I cant wait.
Last night for dinner I cooked up some of mt sisters chicken eggs for dinner and the hubby looked at me and said something is different. Good different. They were bright yellow and had great flavor.
Yeah for chickens!!!

going out on a limb here, hoping some one can help me..

I’m a really poor 24 year old full time college and fast food worker. I’ve always been more health conscious than my peers, but I’m experiencing a lot of trouble taking it to the next level.

I’ve tried attending some lectures and classes given by the local ‘nutrition’ groups, but they all end up being vegan-ish, and the amount of soy and fake food they eat doesn’t sit well with me.

I’ve planted my own garden, but I don’t expect it to yield anything for a few months. Local farmers markets won’t pop up for a few weeks. All of the natural animal farms are over an hour away, and I honestly can’t afford to drive there regularly enough to provide just myself with milk, eggs, and dairy (I’ve tried).

If anyone is willing to get a few more details and help guide me, please email me at avitas157@aol.com or eomalley3@gmail.com.
