Yes, I totally plan on having a couple chickens so that I can have fresh eggs daily. I also plan to use them to help me garden by having them eat bugs and fertilized my ground before I plant my trees, flowers, and vegetables. I've been watching Geoff Lawton with his chicken tractor and his chicken look really heathy and happy because they are doing something they would have done in the wild. I'm just saving up right now to build a chicken tractor and a more stable coop for the brooding hens. I'm also looking into putting a coop into my greenhouse to help keep it warm during the winter. So, I'm still in the middle of my research of chickens before I feel like I can properly provide for them.
