They even have plans on line on how to build one!
So…this vegan thing really isn’t so bad after all. I know I’ve only been at it a few days, but the food I’ve been eating is very tasty, nutritious and I’m pretty sure I’m getting every thing I need to stay healthy, lose weight and stay fit. There’s only one problem. EGGS !!! I really love eggs! I know there are decent alternatives but I just want eggs in the morning once in a while so I came up with a great solution. Eggs are not bad for you. The reason I now have a hard time consuming them is, I know what happens with those poor chickens that produce them and it’s just inhumane. I can’t seem to enjoy a tasty omelet anymore knowing what happens with the animal that gives me the eggs so…I’m getting my own chickens! Great idea huh? My mom had chickens when I was growing up. I grew up on fresh eggs from well loved chickens. Well, as well as you can love a chicken anyway. They are kind of stupid and annoying, but hey, so are my Republican relatives and I love them! Anyway I saw a picture on FB of a portable chicken coop a while ago. I can’t remember who posted it, but thanks. That’s what gave me the idea. My husband doesn’t do well with lots of sudden change so I’m going to have to ease this one on him, but we already have a great area in our yard for them and there’s a place down the street that used to sell them, I’m pretty sure they still do. So that’s it. I’m going to be a chicken farmer. If you can call 4 or 5 hens farming. I’ll post pics when I get them.
