Until recently, eggs have a bad reputation of causing deadly cardiovascular diseases. Most health experts in the past encourage moderation when it comes to consuming eggs. Now, a number of studies have brightened the reputation of this nutritious food.

Who doesn’t love eggs? They are tasty, easy to prepare, have many uses and, more importantly, they are loaded with nutrients. Some of these nutrients are even hard to find in the modern diet.

Each year, it is estimated that on average, around 250 eggs are consumed by a person in a year. It’s no wonder since eggs are a typical part of breakfast and other dishes.

Thus, raising a chicken on your background as either a source of additional income or just to have a regular supply of fresh eggs is a worthwhile activity.

Before raising chicken for their eggs, however, it is important that you select the best egg laying chickens. That is because the breed of chicken largely impacts the amount and quality of eggs you get each day.

Some breeds of chicken tend to lay eggs less or not at all, for instance, while some give eggs at an average of 280 a year. Choosing the right breed will make you the most number and the best quality of eggs either for personal consumption or sale.

If you’re a person who loves to grow his livestock, be it for consumption or business, you’ll need to have the complete equipment. Livestock such as pigs, cows, and chickens are like your average pet that needs a lot of special attention in how they grow.

If you’re a breeder of chickens, a large chicken coop is probably the most important thing that you should immediately provide. Chickens without coops are not likely to grow into healthy birds.

The good news is you don’t have to spend a lot to get one because you can make a coop at home which we will learn today!
