Happy Chickens Healthy You

By Mary Webster

If you were born in suburbia after let's say 1960 it's a pretty good bet that you have never had a fresh egg. Or you may be one of the lucky people who have friends or family living in the country.

If that's the case then you can truly understand the difference between a grocery store egg and a fresh one! There is absolutely no comparison. Cracking a fresh egg into your frying pan is an experience everyone should have at least once in their lifetime.

Instead of watching the egg spread out over the entire pan, it will literally sit there and smile at you. It's sunny face sitting in one place with the white condensed around that happy smile is really the best wakeup call you will ever experience.

There's another reason why fresh eggs are especially good for you. People who have fresh eggs at their disposal generally know exactly what went into the chicken in order to harvest beautiful fresh eggs.

In other words, the chickens are not lined up in cages, row upon row by the hundreds and fed a conglomeration of food that may include harsh chemicals and hormones designed to force the chicken to produce more eggs.

Believe us. You never want to explore what goes into the chicken that produced that 12 or 18 pocket carton you bring home from the grocery store.

Now, some may tell you that they buy "organic" or "free range" eggs. We won't waste your time with all the statistics and data refuting their claims. Suffice it to say that "fresh" is best.

Okay, we probably have your attention by now. Exactly how do you get eggs that are "this morning fresh?"

. . . and just how do you do that?

About the Author

Mary Webster wanted to call her book, What I wish I’d known before I got chickens, but she thought that sounded negative.

Mary said that she has got a lot of enjoyment from her feathered friends.

I want to share my experience and research with other people who have, or are thinking about getting their own chickens.

I hope to answer their questions and also give them information which they probably don’t realize they need!

I love helping to smooth the way for new owners and their first birds which otherwise could be a fairly bumpy ride.

There are tips for those that want just a couple of birds as pets and egg-providers and people whose ambitions are much greater.

The recent health scares for chickens and people that keep or consume them has generated a lot of worry. Some is unnecessary but there are also some potential risks that people are not giving enough attention.

I hope my book may help people to deal with the real problems and find the best sources for reliable information in the future.

People need to know that their chickens will demand some attention to be happy and productive. But, they are also great to watch while you sit and relax.

Most chicken owners are smiling more often than many of the other people I know!
