Hens to save our wastes



Several cities in France, including Montluçon, are having an original experience. The idea comes from the SICTOM of Domérat (organization in the region of Montluçon for sorting the wastes), which wants the habitants to produce less their wastes.




It is the new trend, having a hen as pet. Also very profitable. A laying hen, which costs between 2€ and 10€ will give about 200 eggs per year. Besides it will eat your waste, up to 140 to 145kg per year!

The experience has been made since 2013 in 10 homes of Montluçon. Before bringing their hen to home, the new owner signed a sincerity charter, engaging himself for example not to eat the hen.

If this project is successful it can be extended to the 100000 inhabitant of Montluçon agglomeration.
