I’m choosing to focus on the future right now and give myself a break from the news. I have an idea for an add-on that may be kind of fun.
Backyard chickens! There is a company in Atlanta that does rentals of small chicken coops with 3 hens to allow people to experience keeping chickens and gathering eggs on a small scale. People are coming to my area to escape city life and experience a more rural, relaxed life style. It is possible to set up a coop and the guest would have nothing to do other than throw treats in and collect eggs. With 3 hens you would get about a dozen eggs per week, up to 20 per week in peak laying season. No roosters, so no early morning crowing.
These are my hens that I would try first at my place, but was thinking going forward to offer it to the rental services in my area. As an early guess I’d say it was doable charging $25-30 per week.
