"An Egg Today is Better Than a Hen Tomorrow": an Introduction to the Backyard Hen House

Farm fresh eggs - that golden orange yolk, that hormone-free goodness.  We all would love to have them, but unless you have a very large wallet or live on or near a farm, you're a bit out of luck.  Perhaps this reason (and the rising popularity of a self-sustained living) is why more and more people are building backyard hen houses?  If I had the space for it, I would do it in a heartbeat.  That is why I have decided to create a series of posts about the backyard hen house - for those that can do it, but do not know how (and for myself in the future). 

For those of you who do not know/have never noticed the difference, please take a gander at this photo and article from Spoonful New York's blog:

Left = farm fresh.  Right = supermarket

Look forward to more in-depth posts about how to start your very own backyard hen house in the near future.
