So I've got this great new plan for "the wild" area of our garden farthest from the house. I want chickens! I miss having birds though I don't know as I want one in the house again. And the eggs! It's $3.29 for a dozen eggs here. From what I've read raising chickens for eggs doesn't save you any money, but is a ton of fun! Anyone out there know anything about this? We can't afford to get started (coops are expensive!) while we are both unemployed, but I am a planner at heart. And no, you don't need a rooster for hens to lay eggs!

Chickens are wonderful pets and not a lot of work (especially in CA). Don't by a store bought chicken coop you can make your own out of chicken wire and a dog house (maybe free on craigslist?) You can get the feed for cheep at a feed store. We did loose our pets to a fox all in one night so the coop isn't a terrible idea. But we did house them in the garage during the winter so maybe you could start there. . .
