Rising inflation. Shortages. Global instability. What practical steps can you take to protect your family’s food supply?
Even in many urban communities, you can generally keep a couple of chickens in the back yard. Compared with their store-bought cousins, backyard eggs are attractive, delicious, nutritious, humane, and just plain fun. For those who care about such things, many chicken breeds and chicken coops are truly Pinterest-worthy.
However, yard eggs come with a darker side, often overlooked. Older hens become less productive over time. And roosters (because sex is binary) do not lay eggs at all. Especially if you start with chicks, you will end up with unwanted roosters. Your chicken-loving friends will also end up with unwanted roosters.
Give this tragedy a delicious plot twist. Rehome those roosters to your freezer!
