Let's face it-raising chickens for your own fresh eggs is like a gateway drug to a full-fledged addiction to all things 'rural'.ere's what it looks like to date (from 15 chicks in May of 2011 to 17 producing hens - 13 of which are 20 months old and 4 are about 7 months... oh, and 2 roosters [was 3 but one was dispatched by a hawk this past Christmas]): 1  Cost of building the coop and run (materials only): $315.
One diet was lower in fat, providing 24 percent of total calories (11 from monounsaturated fats), and didn't include an avocado. A second, non-avocado diet was more moderate in fat, providing 34 percent of total calories (17 percent from MOFAs). The third was equally moderate in fat, at 34 percent, but included one whole Haas avocado per day.
There are a lot of potassium-rich foods to choose from to meet your daily requirement. This list includes some of the highest potassium-rich foods around. 1) Avocado: 1 whole: 1,067 milligrams (30 percent DV) Avocado is definitely one of my favorite potassium-rich foods. A 2013 study published in the Nutrition Journal revealed epidemiological data from 2001 to 2008 that describes the effects and benefits of avocado consumption on metabolic disease risk factors.
