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.

I keep them in a large run and let them out an hour or so before it gets dark, right before it gets dark they go in there coop and I close the door.

You're talking the boys now right?... lol. Had to go there. I am interested for real in chickens. Sad we have to get approval for crap like this, but my village does allow it fortunately.

We raise chickens, pretty fun. Hobby only, not commercially.

Not into animals much anymore, but chickens produce so I'm intrigued. 5 family dogs have burned me out, I'd question getting animals again is all. I don't seem emotional here, but losing dogs sucks ass. I was 16 and just got my drivers license and had to put down the family dog. Parents were working. Legit take it to the vet at 16 and kill a dog that I had known my whole life. Honestly the worst moment of my life. The song I was listening to in the car is etched in my mind. Hum it everyday. Incubus and I'm not even a big fan of the band it was just the time, late 90's.

Not sure if you get attached to chickens. I've had too much death in my life. I don't know if adding more life is a good idea, for me at least. I'll probably end up liking the chickens even as cranky as I can be here.
