This squabble on NewWest.net caught our eye because we raise chickens in a semi-urban area and feel nothing but joy about it. It’s interesting to see this issue come into the lime light as resources start to become scarce. Jay made a response video on Momentshowing to all the chicken naysayers. C’mon people, we need to be more resourceful with our food and our land! No Safeway or Food Lion is going to do that for us. The great benefits of raising chickens include having fresh eggs, producing compost (chickens eat and poop food scraps and scratch through yard waste to make potent soil) and if you’re into it- totally chemical free and humane meat.
