I think it would be good, considering that it does not need to be trucked to a store... just get up, walk to the coop and pick them up for FREE. =)
No and I do...and believe me they ain't free. Those chicken like to EAT too the litter from the coop goes into the compost pile to fertilize the garden. FWIW I am in between chicken flocks at the moment, we had bantys but the foxes ate them all. Now that the fox population has been reduced (by live trapping and relocation) we are going to be starting over again with a different breed. I do miss the farm fresh eggs and knowing what went into producing them.
