Grow Vegetables AND eggs!

Most small towns and even some larger ones allow for the keeping of a couple hens. So why not complement your vegetable garden with some hens? During the winter months, let them into your garden area to fertilize (i.e. poo) and till up the area, during the summer months you can keep them in a small coop. Perfect, eggs and veggies. Eggs are nearly a perfect protein, an article posted by a Weston Price leader is at An-Independent-Life, gives some more stats on how wonderful the incredible, edible egg really is. If you are so inclined, give your local govt. a call and check on your zoning....you just never know, maybe chickens are part of your gardening future!
