Recycling

It amazes me all of the time how nice it is to have our little chickens.

1st- our kids are learning the value of being responsible for them. They let them out and put them away every  morning and night. They check for eggs and check on their water and food levels.

2nd- Chickens are really really low maintenance we don't need to clean up their droppings because they are very good for the ground. The chickens eat our left over scraps and weeds.

3rd- I haven't had to buy eggs since they started laying. I also love the fact that the kids are learning to sell them and earn money through them. It helps them learn the value of money as well.

This picture if of the chickens eating our old jack o lanterns. It just feels so good to be able to recycle. Normally I would have to throw these in the trash right after Halloween but this year, the chickens got to eat as much of the pumpkin flesh as they wanted first. So nice!
