The Observer has a nice piece today on backyard poultry.
Since she is the one raising them, she knows they're free-range and that she's feeding them what she thinks they should be fed. She can also tell the difference between eating free-range eggs and the non-free-range kind.
"I had eaten eggs at a restaurant once with friends, and they were so bland," she said. "I was so disappointed because free-range eggs taste really good."
"It makes a nice little hobby," she added. "Or a big hobby if you get carried away like I did."
If anyone in the club is interested in getting into backyard poultry, let me know. I'd be happy to give you some starter resources. It's a lot easier than you think, and I find my hens are far less trouble than my dog or my cats.
