[quote=Anonymous]I know three people who have/had backyard chickens. Two live in suburbia, but are very very crunchy types who find a lot of enjoyment, and devote a ton of energy, in living as close to the land as possible in that kind of environment (i.e. the kind of people who dry their own herbs, make their own jam, and are willing to eat the non-layers when the time comes). The third was a conservative home-schooling mom, who got the chickens mostly for the kids -- and after a year of posting facebook pictures of every single "wonderful new chick" and egg -- finally threw in the towel and found them a new home. There's definitely something to be said for farm- (er, backyard???) fresh eggs. The stuff at Whole Foods doesn't even hold a candle to them. However, I'd really be sure you know what you are getting into. And yes, some varieties do lay green eggs....[/quote]
