Linda asked Barbara Howard:

As a vegan, what do you do with the chickens you raise? I love chickens & have raised them but not long enough to see them through to the end of their lives. They are fun, affectionate & loyal.

Barbara Howard Hi there! I had no idea how sweet and funny chickens are. And super social with unique personalities and habits. I love them, too. My chickens live out their lives with me. I don't sell or use them for meat. While they're still laying, I compost the eggshells, crush them for the garden or offer back instead of oyster shells. There's no rooster in the flock so no opportunity for more chicks. They're ladies of leisure:-) Thanks for the question!
