And an axe, as well as more traditional stuff like hammer and saw.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s connected to the stilts that hold up our house, and it is big enough for two, maybe three chunk-chunk-chickens. We are hoping for free eggs in a month or two. BRAAAWK! This is mostly for our personal enjoyment, though we lie to ourselves and say it&#8217;s a good idea economically&#8230; eggs are up to about .80q each (about 11 cents) and that&#8217;s getting to be a pretty expensive habit at our income bracket. But the chickens cost about 75q each, so that&#8217;s a hundred eggs just to break even. Not including feed, which isn&#8217;t that necessary because there are a lot of bugs to snack on in our cornfield.
