Back to the chickens. I don't plan on selling any of the eggs/birds, personal/family consumption only. I'm out in the country, and the terms "organic" and "Non-GMO" don't mean squat to the people that buy food here. While this area is not THAT far from a big city (90 from Chicago, 30 from South Bend) it's far enough out in the country that many people still really watch their pennies. It's rural enough that you can put a produce stand at the roadside, have a money box out there for people to pay for what they need, and not have the box nor it's contents disappear.
Crazy how things can be that different in such a short distance. I'm not going to lie. I'm not a GMO fan and if I was feeding the eggs to my family that would definitely be another reason go Non-GMO. That's just me though. I'm not judging. As for an easy run if you can find a old trampoline frame for free or next to nothing they work great for an easy run. Google trampoline chicken tractor. Sorry if I'm a little bias on GMO issue but I'm allergic to GMO corn. (Mainly High Fructose Corn Syrup)which I find to be in everything it seems like now. I follow it pretty close now. I will break out in full body rash if I consume. Never had a problem eating animals that consumed it though.
