Pros and consThe pros about breeding chickens are…The chicken can provide eggs for your breakfast.
Chicken is a good source for protein.
Breeding chickens is quite cheap.
There is less work involved in breeding chickens.

The chickens might not taste good.
The chickens could die if not looked after properly.
THE FAMILIESThe cows and chickens will stay on
Stephanie’s farm and at the end of the breeding and milking season.
The milk and meat will be shared between the families, as soon as the hens have laid the eggs they will be checked to see if there is a chick inside of it(we will know if there is a chick inside the egg if the egg feels warm, and if the egg is cold there is no chick), if there is no chick inside the eggs will be given to the families and used as eggs.
The milk can be used to make other dairy products.
