Intro

We call our eggs 'spoiled chicken eggs'. They aren't rotten eggs but eggs that come from spoiled chickens. If you buy your eggs from the grocery store, they are guaranteed to be from abused chickens. 'Cage free' means thousands of birds are thrown together in an open barn. To keep them from pecking each other to death, their beaks are burned off. 'Free range' means there is a small chain link enclosure where some of them can go outside for a few minutes a day. I'm not a fanatic animal rights person or even a vegetarian but this is just the reality of cheap factory farmed chickens in today's world.

Chickens are extremely socially smart animals with crazy unique personalities. This blog documents my education about raising them, starting from complete ignorance.
