when baby
chicks are on the loose.
Smart farm wives capitalize on this attribute by using square wire which lets only the little chicks into a garden plot. As the chicks chase down chiggers to crunch on, they will keep the ground constantly cultivated, and clean of creeping pests too. On top of all that they will lay down a residue of easily absorbed, top grade fertilize yon smart housewife's tender young plants will thrive on.
The best news of all about chickens is that they are homebound. They don't need to be caged when food is plentiful and protection from thieving coyotes is adequate. As long as they know where home is, chickens will roam no farther than necessary to fill their little craws with nourishing foods.
Build a roost for them and chickens will almost never range too far to hear table scraps being raked off the plate into the yard.
That makes them better garbage disposal units than any you can buy in a store.
Country estates can spend far less on exterminators (and fertilize) by employing chickens to tend their landscape.
Since chickens arrive in various natural colors and sizes they can be chosen to compliment the decor. White chickens will match homes painted white, Rhode Island Reds will enhance brick mansions,

One of the best suppliers of chickens that I know is Estes Hatchery. It has been in the poultry business since 1922. "We now have the fourth generation of family active in the operation of our hatchery."
Below are some close-up shots of their favorite breeds, including: Production Reds | Rhode Island Reds | New Hampshire | Reds Barred Plymouth Rocks | White Plymouth Rocks | Black Australorps | Buff Orpingtons | Silver Laced Wyandottes | Araucanas | Danish Brown Leghorns | Hybrid White Leghorns | California Whites | Crested Polish Specials | and the little Bantam Specials.
Guineas, game birds and other specialties are also
