N°10 – The Chicken

Chickens, the keepers of the morning’s fresh eggs, evoke images of country houses and rural rhythms. Beyond their role as egg producers, chickens offer a multitude of benefits in both urban and rural gardens. By pecking at harmful insects, they contribute to ecological management of green spaces, reducing the need for chemical pesticides.

Raising chickens in urban gardens aligns with the growing trends of sustainability and food consciousness. Chicken owners discover the joys of small-scale food production while learning the basics of animal responsibility and living in harmony with nature. Chickens teach patience and perseverance, as waiting for eggs to hatch and watching chicks grow requires time and attention. They also strengthen the connection between generations, passing down agricultural traditions in a playful and engaging way.
