Chickens have become popular because they work well in small space environments, like suburban backyards. With a growing concern for genetically modified food, hormone-filled chickens, and who knows what else science can come up with to enhance chickens and their eggs, raising them in your backyard is a perfect alternative. Also, with rising costs of eggs due to transportation and energy cost increases, having eggs straight from the hen house 20 feet from your backdoor is a viable and money-saving method of food production.
