I want to raise my own chickens but hubby won’t let me.
I am no animal rights nut but I do think that raising them and dispatching them in the most humane way possible is the right thing to do.
After all, they give us sustenance and we should be grateful to them for giving us their lives, and in thanks should not make their lives or deaths miserable.
Most cities these days allow up to three or four hens...maybe you can check and see. I love my chickens and while many of them are going to end up as dinner a few of the ladies who are so sweet and special to me are definitely going to die of old age! You can’t help but love these little critters who just want your company whether you have food or not.
