My wife and I started raising chickens (5) in our backyard this year for eggs. So far its been a great experience. We get 4 - 5 eggs a day and it costs less than $15 a month for feed. The chickens also eat a lot of our table scraps.
Having no livestock experience, I was nervous about doing this at first but it has been great. It is not much of a time commitment and the rewards are great.
Anyone else do this?
