    Not only that, they also reduce organic waste, they help keep some pests at bay and they fertilize the soil for you

    The little town of Limburg, Belgium offered 3 chickens to 2,000 households as an experiment in 2010 to cut down on household waste. Belgian officials have reported that the chickens are a huge success, organic waste has been cut in half and the families have gained a supply of free, fresh eggs.

    We should be bringing back keeping animals at home, chickens for sure at least, ducks are loud cunts.

    Then someone should open a business that butchers the chicken for you, so you don’t have to get your hands dirty even.

    i grew up in post soviet era central europe, collecting all the vegetable scraps and even eggshels onto a bowl while cooking then taking it out back and giving it to chickens was the norm.

        tbf if the hens aren’t producing for commercial purposes, they could be vaccinated, like they’re thinking of doing in america.

        Nothing like something that sounds like a woman screaming to really liven up the neighborhood. Beautiful plumage, though.

        We had a neighbour a few houses over get one. Never saw it, but I certainly heard the fucker.

        He didn’t last long.
