So it's free labor + free soil fertility + eggs.

Makes them a tempting proposition to be sure!

I would love to raise chickens on my property. It is too open right now to do it as I don't want to disturb the neighbors. Chickens and raw compost are quite messy. And they are so cute to have around. As soon as you have a shovel out, they will go after you for worms and grubs. Their favorite food are Japanese beetles grubs!
