Hi Guys,
I saw on a thread about spiders that chickens are some serious pest control tools. Ive been thinking about getting some for the eggs, so the pest control sounds like a good bonus. Can anyone tell me some good breeds that are easy to take care of and do well in Utah?
Also, what kind of effect will they have on my garden? Im growing tomatoes, artichokes, corn, peas, beans and some melons. Will they tear those up?
How many eggs am I likely to get out of one per week? Any other recommendations about them or things I should be aware of before I get any?
