When chickens outlive their usefulness …

Many times I wonder if I’ve outlived my useful years?

You know …

The times when I felt on the top of my game physically, and mentally.  The times when I felt like I really had something going for me.

And now – so many different things have started to fail, and not work, the way I always expected them to.

Have you ever felt that way?

Well … If not, enjoy your ride, because it could be coming.

If so – then you know exactly what I’m talking about.

And unfortunately, hens also reach a similar point in their lives.

When?

Well, they stop laying eggs at about 2 years of age, or so.  And most people are pretty much done with paying for the feed of an animal that isn’t providing something back to their family.

So – I just wanted to write and suggest that you think about this possibility before you jump in with both feet – and get a gigantic flock of hens.

Know this … Eventually they’re NOT going to give you eggs.  What will you do with them then?

Just a thought to help make things a little clearer for you.
