I'm so glad you've enjoyed learning about the chickens! I would absolutely be more than happy to talk about the costs associated with backyard chickens, and about our experience with predators. I'm working on it now--look for it next week! Hey guys!

I'd really be interested in learning more about the costs and equipment you and Y use in caring for your chickens. Have you ever heard of the Eggloo? I wonder if it would work well in our backyard.

They were really great, but it was nearly impossible to keep raccoons and possums from getting into the coop they slept in and killing them. And I think their poo made the soil too acidic for my dad to be able to garden. The eggs were awesome, though. My parents raised chickens when I was growing up.

As a vegetarian, I don't mind that people choose to eat meat and other animal products. I just wish they'd think more about where those thing come from and, if they can afford to, buy free range. I think it's great that you can raise awareness about free range vs. factory farm chickens. I’ve really appreciated getting to read about your experience.

J and I don't have a backyard yet (and I have no idea how Orange County feels about chickens, but I would imagine they don't like them) but we're interested in having chickens when we do. I've found reading your experience very educational and I admire you for following through and actually raising backyard chickens. Thank you :) I was just wondering about how your chickens were doing the other day.
