Raising Chickens for Eggs vs. Raising Birds for Meat: Which One’s Easier (and Why We Do Both on Our Farm)

21 Oct 2025

Description

Raising chickens for eggs or raising birds for meat — which one is really easier? If you’re a beginner homesteader wondering how to start your flock, this episode is for you! We’re breaking down the real pros and cons of layers vs. meat birds, from feed and care to daily routines and freezer prep. We’ll also share why our family chooses to do both on our homestead, how we balance the work with kids, faith, and everyday life, and what God has taught us through every season of raising chickens. Whether you’re dreaming of fresh eggs every morning, planning for a stocked freezer, or just curious about the realities of backyard chickens, this episode gives you the honest, faith-filled answers you need. Tune in to hear our personal journey — including the chaos, the lessons, and yes, how having my husband home makes all the difference on a busy farm day! – Tori Gass Connect with Us: 📸TikTok: @lostsheepfarm 👩‍🌾 Facebook Group: Lost Sheep Farm ✉️ Email: [email protected]
