What's your reason for chicken poultry?

Hello everyone, welcome to my blog🤗. Its good to have you here.

Chicken poultry is something I hope to do someday.

There is a connection between a poultry farmer and his chickens just as one has towards pets.

The joy of tending, nurturing, and feeding the chicks till they are completely matured into laying eggs and beginning their life cycle.

During a visit to a friend, I found out that she now owns chicken poultry. She created a wonderful cage for the chickens outside her apartment, with upper and lower layers to categorize them based on size.

I assisted her in feeding the chicken and changing their water while we were conversing because the chickens had contaminated it with feces.

My friend was cleaning the cage with ease, even though it was messy and smelled bad. She apologized repeatedly and asked me to leave because of the mess and unpleasant odor.

She was unaware that I too wanted to start mine soon, which made me giggle so hard.

Someone approached us while we were talking and expressed interest in purchasing two large chickens.

My friend clearly stated that her chickens were not for sale. He tried to persuade her to change her decision, but she refused.

I inquired about her reasons for doing so. She stated that she started chicken poultry for personal consumption rather than business purposes.

But as time passed, she grew so connected to them that she wasn't even willing to slaughter them for food.

Watching the chickens grow into maturity, lay eggs, and continue the circle of life is all she cares about.

What are your motivations for rearing chickens? Is it for commercial or personal use, the desire to consume eggs, or, like my friend, the simple pleasure of watching the chickens grow?

Thank you for reading through.
