Many people today are joining the hobby of keeping chickens. Are you thinking of getting backyard chickens? There are many advantages to adding chickens to your backyard. Here are just a few advantages.
The first advantage of keeping chickens is that they do make great pets. Each chicken has its own personality, and it is very rewarding and stress relieving getting to know each of its unique characteristics. Some chickens will follow you anywhere like a dog and will even “purr” with contentment.
Another advantage is that some chickens are great tick eaters. If you have a problem with ticks in your yard, a few hens will take care of that problem. You will no longer have to worry about your children and pets picking up ticks from your yard.
The last advantage to add chickens to your yard is that you will get fresh eggs. Fresh eggs’ taste and color are different from store-bought eggs. Store-bought eggs can already be weeks old when you purchase them. Once you have fresh eggs, there will be no going back to store-bought.
These are just a few advantages why you may want to consider getting backyard chickens.
