Rep. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (R-GA) released the following statement today after introducing a bill authorizing President Trump to acquire Greenland and renaming it Red, White, and Blueland:

“America is back and will soon be bigger than ever with the addition of Red, White, and Blueland. President Trump has correctly identified the purchase of what is now Greenland as a national security priority, and we will proudly welcome its people to join the freest nation to ever exist when our Negotiator-in-Chief inks this monumental deal.”

Wait until you supplement feeding and have to worm them.

Tbh, feeding them is cheap if you supply them with table scraps. They're basically feathered pigs.

That's true. We had a lot of chickens a long time ago, not enough table scraps, though. We kept them penned most of the time for their protection from natural predators, including our cat.

Chickens are simple easy and cheap. Source: I own chickens and it's not the first time

30 dozen eggs a month for ~$18 per month. (Is my current set up). Initial investment is really all, which isn't high if you have scrap wood laying around somewhere

We had a lot of chickens at one time, they got expensive for reasons I mentioned. But we had a lot, of varying different kinds.
