There are many different chicken breeds. Some are superior than others when it comes to laying edible eggs. All female chickens are capable of laying eggs that contain the nutritional content.
A leghorn chicken will supply an egg nearly every single day. Just a couple of these chickens will supply your family with plenty of meal options.
There are many different breeds of chickens. The Silkie Bantam is one of my favorites. They are absolutely beautiful! The are smaller than a regular chicken. They orginated from China as far back as the late 1200’s.
Soft and full, they make a great pet.
The reason for making chicken coops is to keep the birds safe from predators. We also make chicken coops so that they have a place to rest peacefully when it is time to lay their eggs. If we let them room and lay their eggs just anywhere you would never find them until it is too late.
When your make the chicken coop you want to make sure there is no way for them to get out once you pen them up. This is for their own safety. A wily fox is smart enough to know that all he has to do is scare them from the outside so that they run out of the keep so that he can catch them.
Build a chicken house to keep the birds safe. Don’t let them spend the night in your house! Just kidding.
Chicken houses will not only keep your chickies safe from predators, it will give them their own space to roost. This makes a chicken happy when she has a nice comfy spot to do her thing. She will than be more then happy to supply you with plenty of fresh organic eggs.
