I just cannot imagine NOT having chickens now. It just seems so incredibly normal to me.

  @feralphilosophernc @givenup @Anon_Z @KiKi88 @ChadleyDudebro @LawrenceGerald When you realize it you get irritated that there's so much food waste, I bet most homes could be producing 5 eggs a week just off the leftovers tey throw out for 2 people

  @help_helper @LawrenceGerald @feralphilosophernc @Anon_Z @KiKi88 @ChadleyDudebro yea if you get out in the coutnryside, if all your concerned about is eggs to eat, you can get 1 -2 hens per person in your household and yu'll have plenty of eggs, most chickens lay at least 1 egg daily, give or take. my 11 girls are giving me 9 a day right now.

  @help_helper @givenup @feralphilosophernc @Anon_Z @KiKi88 @ChadleyDudebro They did live in horrible conditions, cage free just means they turn them all out together but still indoors with not enough space and certainly not clean. There's nuance to the whole thing tho bc chiggs kept in confinement are much safer from predators.

  @LawrenceGerald @help_helper @feralphilosophernc @Anon_Z @KiKi88 @ChadleyDudebro pasture raised is a bit more humane in terms of that the chickens actually get to go outside for a set number of hours
  strict regulation involved in being able to use that lable actaully, something funny is "free range" has a lot less regulation so they skirt that a lot.

  @givenup @LawrenceGerald @feralphilosophernc @Anon_Z @KiKi88 @ChadleyDudebro That’s good to know, thank you. I’ll check for the pasture raised label, I do think I’ve seen that.
  
  Where I live (in a town, bleh) we are allowed 6 backyard chickens but it requires a license (tax) per head per YEAR ($50 each) and the local “authority“ comes onto your property annually to inspect. They basically want to see cute store bought coops that look more like doll houses than chicken houses. Anything that is ugly but functional comes with a $250 fine and loss of license which means they also take your birds.
  
  Pretty sure that would have me irl fedposting within the year. So now I’m planning to just move to the sticks.

  @feralphilosophernc @Anon_Z @KiKi88 @ChadleyDudebro @LawrenceGerald i could imagine it, but seems like it's part of God'splan for me, cuz he's blessed me in terms of finding people to buy enough of my eggs to pay for feed costs basicly
  lol lot of people have trouble actually getting rid of eggs.

  @givenup @feralphilosophernc @Anon_Z @KiKi88 @ChadleyDudebro @LawrenceGerald I wish there were some of those too-many-egg havers in my area, I’d be buying them up. All I have to work with are the extra expensive supposedIy cage free ones from Aldi. I have to just pray it’s not a bunch of wordsmith bs and that the chickens didn’t live in horrible conditions after all 😭
