There are a lot of benefits to farming fowl, starting with the mental and physical benefits that come along with having a hobby. In short, hobbies make us happier and healthier by improving our mood, decreasing our stress levels, and getting us up and moving. Of course, chicken farming has some very specific pros as well, starting with these: Good #Eggs - There is no doubt about it — “homemade” eggs from your own chickens are the most nutritious eggs you can get. Not to mention they’re delicious. Thanks to a healthy diet of quality feed, table scraps, and a yard full of bugs and weeds, your chickens will pass the benefits onto you. Each time you crack open an egg with a creamy, orange yolk, you will consume less cholesterol, less saturated fat, and more beneficial omega-3 fatty acids than you do when you eat eggs from the grocery store. #NaturalPestControl - Chickens are omnivores, and they love to eat bugs. They’ll peck out harmless beetles, grasshoppers, and worms, as well as the more menacing spiders, flies, and slugs. But they don’t stop with insects. Chickens will also keep your property free of any mice, frogs, and snakes they can get their beaks on. #Compost & #Fertilizer - Chicken manure makes for a great garden additive. After you compost it with other organic material, you can scoop it onto your garden to give your plants a boost of nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium. Speaking of composting, your chickens will love the meat and protein scraps that you can’t normally put in the compost bin. #Sustainability - The education raising chickens provide to you and your family is hard to get anywhere else. Even young children can learn about caring for livestock and raising your own food through chickens. Doling out feed, collecting eggs, cleaning the hen house, and caring for chickens in an environmentally-friendly way teaches the whole family about living sustainably. #Love - It may not seem like it, but chickens are actually very lovable. Each chicken you bring home will have its own personality. You may end up with a bossy Betty, a nervous Nelly, or a cuddly Cathy. No matter what, they’ll find their way into your hearts and become members of your extended family. Like any pet, the love you and your chickens share can be good for you and your family’s mental health .Source: Terence Spencer https://soundcloud.com/user-643366749/chicken-farm
