Chickens can have great benefits, including:

  • Natural fertiliser - chicken poo is a great natural fertiliser that you can use in your garden 
  • Reduce food waste - feed your chickens kitchen scraps to provide variety to their diet and reduce the amount you are throwing away
  • Pest control - chickens will eat insects that may harm your garden
  • Garden tilling - chickens forage for insects and this can help with preparing new garden beds
  • Learn about the lifecycle of animals
  • Fresh eggs - if well looked after, your chickens will produce fresh eggs to enjoy 

If you are interested in getting chickens, make sure you do your research to know if these feathered friends are right for you and if you will be able to dedicate time to care for them.
