Thanks Knobby Oaks, my mother has told me that I should write a short story
for readers digest or prevention magazine about the difference chickens have
made in my life. I really never imagined the experience would be what it has
become and the kind hearted people I would meet along the way.
I have a black australorp that was the ugliest little thing when i got her. She has
turned out to be big, fat and beautiful and my first layer. Today when I sat in
my chair in the yard just watching the girls, she ran from where they were
(which cracks me up every time I see them run) and came pecking around my
area. She then jumped up on my foot stool and walked up my legs. She let
me pet her and hold her and she made some cute little noises while she
stayed there a while then she just jumped down and was on her way.
Most people can't believe when I tell them that chickens are awesome pets.
Not cuddly like a kitten but certainly as entertaining and give something back
in return. (besides smelly kitty litter
)
