If you've ever wanted to raise backyard chickens for eggs, you'll want to catch this episode of the Pantry Chat.

Raising chickens has been a staple practice of homesteads large and small for thousands of years. Our beautiful birds give us so much, from scratching and fertilizing the ground as they move across the property, to delivering that perfect unit of food called the egg.

In this episode, we're diving deep into the art and science (and love) of egg-laying chickens. This is one of the topics we get the most questions about, so take a break from the garden for a bit and tune in to this mini masterclass on raising chickens for eggs!
