I look at like this, -->If they spend 5 or 6 days a week for a year or more spitting out an egg then I'm happy to feed them, love them for the next several years when they only give me 3 or 4 eggs per week. They keep my ranch looking great by working the soil, they love the back end of my cows (and it's hard to get anything to love the hind end of bovine) and they fill the air with good vibes. <br /><br />I have an 10+ year old blind hen, BC (Blind Chicken) who gives beautiful feathers to my fly tying friend and she still gives me an egg once in awhile. <br /><br />My chickens make me HAPPY, and I've get to put monetary value to that!Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08695081816507522652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6304134318929169046.post-57586281601757107842012-04-01T12:44:48.165-04:002012-04-01T12:44:48.165-04:00Before my neighbor clipped her hens' wings las...Before my neighbor clipped her hens' wings last week, she'd searched high and low for the eggs. We found half a dozen in the St. John's Wort growing in our easement.
