From their eggs, the nitrogen rich poop they provide for compost, and the fact that they’re excellent low cost animals, chickens give so much value to a farm!

They also provide a myriad of opportunities to learn and engage in all age and comfort levels.

They can provide lessons in poultry care for future veterinarians, as well as for individuals who are interested in having backyard chickens. They are also great introduction animals for young children, who can exercise autonomy on the farm by being responsible for egg collection and observing the chickens’ unique hierarchical roles.
