Backyard Organic Chickens

It seems like we are getting more and more of our food (for both us and our pets) that is either manufactured in China, or is made here in the United States, but with ingredients from China.
After the big scare a few years back where the dogs and cats were dying all over from the pet foods and treats that had Chinese products in their ingredients; I started deciding that I wanted to produce as much of our own food as I can, and what i need to buy, I try to get either local, or at least, organic.
I make enough food for dinner that there are leftovers for the dogs, and their dog food comes from an American company (Diamond Pet Foods), and I just don't buy any of the packaged treats, period.
Even if you have never gardened, you can always start doing it. Youtube has tutorials for just about everything, and I am always learning about how to do something from youtube. Berries last for years once they are planted, so it is not like a garden that you have to plant each spring.
And it is FUN ! Chipper even comes out and helps me pull weeds. He will get a bit of one in his mouth, and pull it up and then wait for me to take it out of his mouth. He is an amazing little dog, and I love him so much ! !
