    If the SHTF how will you feed your chickens?

    We live in the country surrounded by fields, that is a huge plus for us as the chickens free range all around the house. Haven't had much of a problem finding eggs, for the most part, they come back into the barn. Every once in awhile they don't, hence the screen name, the egg hunter!! We...
