Today I talk about the benefits of poultry.

*Meat - Not the primary use but definitely something that can be considered and accounted for.

*Eggs - Probably the #1 reason to keep poultry.

*Variety - Whether you have a lot of room or none, you can find the right species and breed for you.  From quail to ostriches you are only limited by imagination.

*Manure - Some of the highest nitrogen fertilizer you can't buy.

*Pest/Weed Control - From quail eating small beetles out of your garden to guineas eating ticks to turkeys eating insects too large to handle otherwise.

*Pets -  Some of my best friends have been birds.

*Financially - Find out how two country bumpkin teenage boys were able to turn a profit year after year.

For a basic primer on raising poultry refer to Episode 15 Raising Poultry.
