They don't always lay in the nesting boxes so you sometimes have to hunt for them. The cost with the feed is about the same as store bought but there is really no substitute for the taste of fresh yard eggs. At present, we're allowed to keep a small flock(less than a dozen) in town but they have to be kept caged at all times and we aren't allowed to let them free range, although there are a bunch of chickens wandering around in my neighborhood.<br /><br />RW<br /><br />BTW, Checked your site and it looks great! I plan to spend a little time there checking things out more thoroughly.<br /><br />P.S.

This is very unfortunate because I am always trying to become more self reliant. There is a certain sense of satisfaction that comes with raising/growing your own food. <br /><br />How many chickens do you raise in total & how many eggs do you get per month? <br /><br />Btw, I've been following your blog for a while! Keep up the great work buddy. <br /><br />You can check out my site if you have the time, I think its right down your alley: <br /><br />http://www.survivalgrounds.com<br /><br />Its got all kinds of survival articles and product reviews ect. <br /><br />Let me know what you think! <br /><br />-barefoot2kbarefoot2knoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-88815365020952242342009-08-31T18:51:02.055-05:002009-08-31T18:51:02.055-05:00What exactly are you feeding these eggs ?

It can make a difference. RW, Jr. has a flock of about 4 dozen and we're getting so many eggs each day that we're giving away quite a few to some of our neighbors. Nothing quite like fresh yard eggs! Plus the neighbors appreciate it.<br /><br />RWriverwalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01575212890278793911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-232850734261278662009-08-30T14:50:45.455-05:002009-08-30T14:50:45.455-05:00...hmmm,i've been leavin' this blog awful ......hmmm,i've been leavin' this blog awful hungry these days...Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13559414057439356066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-35277769827414527372009-08-30T09:28:07.535-05:002009-08-30T09:28:07.535-05:00We have a small chicken tractor in our backyard. ...We have a small chicken tractor in our backyard. Three birds, who give us 9 - 10 eggs per week. Cost of raising them is about the same as buying in the store, but the taste - whoa man, it doesn't compare. Waaay better taste - its worth the trouble man.<br /><br />In the past hot summer, we give the birds a treat. Wife being a teacher, she stays home during that time with our kids and twice a day, she'd give the birds refrigerated water to drink in heat of the day - they were happy with it.<br /><br />No trouble, just keeping a 2 liter water bottle in refer and giving them about a coke can at a time, the birds seemed grateful. Egg production continued all summer long, way good for us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
