How many of you all have gardens at home? We have a planter box with some tomatoes, arugula, peppers, and random other things that sprout from the compost we add. We compost the scraps from everything edible, and that seems to include a lot of seeds. Even parts of potatoes have grown into full potato plants. We got a few beets somehow as well.

We used to have chickens and enjoyed their eggs, but the need to let them out and put them in again each day makes it hard to go on vacations.

it's work to put them in the coop each night

Automatic door opener with a light sensor. Opens up a couple of hours after sun up, closes at dark.
There are several kits out there and pretty easy to install.

Still - can be a hassle. Had to put a fence around garden to keep chickens out, and another one because they
got into the main back yard and were pooping on the pool deck. Then you need to build a run, with a coop for laying
inside as well... And... And... LOL

Plus where there are chicken coops there are rats.
