  1. I agree. We’ve had chickens here for over 20 years. They are a lot of work and responsibility. But nothing beats going into the garden, picking peppers, stopping at the hen house, pick (warm) eggs and making the freshest omelet possible! I pickle eggs when they are numerous (Spring) and eat them when they are not (winter).
