Keep threatening to get a few yard birds for eggs. Vegetable garden is a pain in the ass here due to deer and wife not wanting to erect a good fence due to aesthetic concerns. Chickens would make me feel better.
How much work would 3-4 hens be? We are gone for prolonged periods, but I figure neighbors/friends would take care of them for free eggs.
I should say that I already buy fresh eggs fairly cheap, so I know those benefits. I think my kids would enjoy having some birds around, though.
