Is it worth it to have home raised chickens instead of paying an arm and a leg at the store for pastured meat?<br /><br />I am excited to see what you have to share this week on Natural Living Mondays!

Congrats on losing your virginity.<br />It sure is amazing how many things you can do with a dogcrate.<br />Put a tarp on the floor before loading the dogcrate and birds next time and clean up will be easier.<br />Can't wait to see what the costs were. But I know the taste is priceless!<br />What are you paying for a bag of poultry feed ?<br />Come visit us in Vermont when you have a chance;<br />www.tailgait.blogspot.com<br />~ Janishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10637404142608576162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574217133769042898.post-80027250130978463402012-11-19T05:07:21.063-08:002012-11-19T05:07:21.063-08:00I think it is awesome and wish we could grow our o...I think it is awesome and wish we could grow our own chickens. It would take some time for me to get used to the "drop". May shed a couple tears but it would be a learning process.

Debbi...Thanks for all the great comments, everyone! Debbie, I will be doing a follow-up ost next week to address cost break-down, taste, etc. Tune in! Joan, wow, I really respect what you had to say, and I admire your choice. My thought is, first, be a vegetarian. Second, buy or raise locally-grown, humanely-raised meat. I mean, I understand many cannot b/c of costs, etc, but the more we can say no to factory farm practices, the better, right?<br />Thanks again, everyone!

We have chickens and cows. I can't imagine either any of them, but I think you were brave and wise to have done it. Good for you.<br /><br />I just stumbled upon your blog. ;-)<br /><br />Have a great weekend!<br />BethBeth in NChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17492590083823556624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574217133769042898.post-84520205875803597172012-11-16T19:46:29.504-08:002012-11-16T19:46:29.504-08:00I completely, totally, and whole-heartedly support...I completely, totally, and whole-heartedly support your endeavor. I really do. If you're gonna eat meat, you ought to look it in the eye before you go there. <br /><br />I just can't do it myself...My husband of 25 years stole my heart when he said if he couldn't do it himself, he wouldn't eat it. No meat, chicken or pork in our kitchen. Doesn't work for everyone. Works for us. <br /><br />I thank my chickens every day for those beautiful eggs they give us. My pig thanks me every day that bacon is not on the menu.<br /><br />I appreciate all who honor animals and treat them accordingly while they're in this world. You obviously gave them a great life!<br /><br />Rock on!<br /><br />Joan@Just The Right Thingshttp://www.justtherightthings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574217133769042898.post-21824511155524428682012-11-16T16:35:01.511-08:002012-11-16T16:35:01.511-08:00Thanks for stopping by:) Oh yes, been there and d...Thanks for stopping by:) Oh yes, been there and done that. Up to about 1 year ago we raised stock on our little farm. Bred Boer Goats and had chickens, ducks, geese and a couple steers etc. We are in the process of selling out and hitting the road for a few years:) I clicked on your button to vote for you:) and am now following. On my way to like your Facebook page.<br /><br />Hope your week is filled with Blessings.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11097999173135774754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574217133769042898.post-12393995516893847952012-11-16T11:03:19.281-08:002012-11-16T11:03:19.281-08:00My husband wants to raise chickens for meat, but I...My husband wants to raise chickens for meat, but I'm not a woman to kill my own meat. Heck, I can't even remove meat from the bone! Yep, I'm a boneless-skinless kinda girl. Good for you, though! I'm not that handy. :) Not to mention, I'd probably end up naming the chickens and never be able to kill them. I'm a sucker for animals. Except cats, but allergies do that to you.Ann Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08667666670381730153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574217133769042898.post-846208635276222342012-11-16T05:37:37.232-08:002012-11-16T05:37:37.232-08:00I always wondered if "fresh" meat tastes...I always wondered if "fresh" meat tastes different than "store" bought.
