Maybe you have talked to him more about if it is worth it which is always hard to figure out I guess but my dad was thinking about getting this moveable chicken coop and then after they wear down the grass you move it forward. He has the space for it. But I guess the chickens can only lay eggs for 3 years or so and places like Indiana and Michigan it would seem they would have to be given grain when it isn't summer. I always worry about those eggs coming from the industrial farms. The chickens can't move around and they aren't really getting fresh air and sun and able to eat worms and bugs.

He was running into issues with predators getting the chickens. I think that was his biggest problem. We have tons of people around where I live always selling eggs on the side of the road. I work in a farm community so there are always people selling them at work too.
It's probably going to turn out to be a good business for a lot of people these days.
