Keeping pet chickens have become somewhat popular nowadays for several reasons. A few have something to do with the current state of the economy and how people don’t have any money. Other reasons include the fact that there are quite a few who believe that it is an action that can help the environment while at the same time providing healthy and fresh eggs to eat.
Some feel that it is a sensible practice to keep a couple of chickens in the yard. After all the provision of fresh eggs daily saves a bit on the grocery bill and every little bit counts. Which will in turn offset any start up costs that were incurred in your raising chickens endeavor.
Free range chickens are those that are allowed to roam outside for at least part of the day. Most small farmers and hobbyists will want to allow their chickens as much time as possible outdoors so that they get adequate exercise, so as to produce healthy fresh tasty eggs. Commercial “free range” chickens are not often so lucky, many of you already know about the tragedies that fall commercially raised chickens.
