Raising Chickens: Steps To Raise Chickens

Raising Chickens: Steps To Raise Chickens

Why raise chickens that is the question? Well you can buy eggs from the store but very healthy and they are kept in very small environments and all the time they remove the beaks of the chickens and they give all kinds of hormones so the eggs are healthy and definitely don't want to ever eat them raw and if you  raise your own chickens then you get the advantage of having a pet letting them roam around in your yard and they eat whatever they want in the natural environment that's what they would eat any way so the once that i have i let them roam free during the day in the yard and they eat grass, seeds, worms, bugs the things the chickens are supposed to eat and when they eat those things it makes the eggs really healthy and they are really delicious. Yorks are really orange and the eggs you buy from the store of the yorks are not really orange they are dull yellow color and the once that you raise you know with chickens to hang out what kind you have the eggs comes in different sizes it's a lot of fun to swing out their if you have children in chicken the kids love to feed the chickens they love to lay the eggs you know it's a lot of fun to have your own chickens and plus you get the eggs.

What are some of the best breeds for laying eggs?
Bird rock are really good at laying eggs, roud island red are pretty good at laying eggs. Those chickens are lot larger than some other types of chickens like danny's are a lot smaller they lay smaller eggs. Danny when i say danny i mean dantum chickens they were like miniature chickens they lay really small eggs but the other chicken that i have they lay much larger eggs and they lay on regular basis.

Do chickens have any predators I need to worry about?
The predators for chickens in my area where i raise my chickens are rackooms, snakes they don't actually eat the chickens but they will eat the small if they have peeps and they also eat the eggs and chicken hawks if you don't have them completely enclosed over the top the chicken hawk could fly and get your chickens fox, dogs, cats actually get chickens so when you keep them completely enclosed in some form of cage so if you wanna raise your own chickens it is pretty simple you need to get their food, you need to have a cage so the animals, predators can't get to them and you need to have patients. Once they start laying the eggs will start small called pullets and then they would get larger, larger and the next thing you gonna be getting eggs probably everyday sometimes and then sometimes every other day you are gonna have great delicious eggs and you need to start collecting your eggs all over the place. Your friends are gonna wanna get your eggs your'e gonna be giving them away. Chickens are to be laying like crazy. There are lot of fun to be watched. Go for it. Raise your own chicken.
