Raising hens for your own eggs doesn't really save money, at least in the short term, but they're entertaining, and if managed well will do their part in weeding and insect control. Some breeds are particularly friendly and make good pets. And of course, you'll be forever spoiled as far as fresh eggs go! I don't keep hens at the moment as I do too much travel and would be reluctant to leave a coop unattended for more than a day as we have coyotes, foxes, and bobcats where I live.


My hens certainly save us money,i mix my own feed and hatchmy own chicks and get almost 100% production year round and then sell extras for 8 dollars/ dozen. We keep about 20 hens and 1 rooster. I source non gmo corn,peas wheat and use rock dusts,kelp,fish meal etc etc.

As perhaps the world's greatest skeptic on great tasting red tomatoes, I'll have to trial Lynnwood.

I've grown maybe a half dozen red globes and beefsteaks with great flavor, whereas the even greater tasting pinks would number in the several hundreds.

Great tasting red hearts are plentiful.

I agree. Pinks seem to taste better than reds, and it is hard to find reds in the same category as the best pinks.

Thanks everyone for posting (and resurrecting, in a way) Lynnwood. Love hearing good things about new to me, old favorites of others.

Hopefully we can get it into MMMM next year so more can try it.

Lynnwood might be my best tasting tomato so far this year. Terhune has been good as well but I've only had one of those so far. Thanks for the suggestion Fusion!
