In the event that one day you wake up and find out that there is no more food at your local supermarket and you are on your own, having chickens will be a relief. Eggs hold so many nutrients and the “chicken ecosystem” as a whole is an incredible source of food, the eggshells can be ground up and taken for added calcium, the shells can be added to compost, and the chicken manure can be used as fertilizer for the garden. Best of all, by raising your own chickens you are in control of the health and quality of the eggs you consume. Eggs themselves are a wonderful source of needed protein and fat. On average, for every hen you have, she will lay one egg per day.
