It’s great to have some outdoor space with a family. There are many more opportunities to keep you all entertained with various activities and garden accessories. However, having some outdoor space also opens up the potential for keeping some animals. A straightforward yet rewarding choice is to have some chickens. Here are some reasons why.
They are Very Sweet
You and your kids will gain so much joy from having hens around. They are very lovely animals and watching them bob around and peck at the ground will put a smile on anyone’s face. They also make some very funny sounds and create a general ambiance of calmness and peace.
Fresh Eggs are the Best
There’s nothing better than popping out in the morning and checking the hens’ nest to find some freshly laid eggs waiting for you. Not only will this save you money on buying them, but you can be assured that your eggs are coming from healthy and happy hens.
Helps Your Kids Learn
There’s no doubt that having an awareness of the processes involved in sourcing animal products is beneficial. Keeping chickens helps teach kids about this kind of thing, and means they can make informed choices throughout their lives and are more likely to prioritize higher welfare animal produce.
