Do not worry, when everything else is done, housework will still be there.Thank you for the info. My son gifting me these chickens did catch me off guard! I had prepared and had read a lot, but it has been a jam session since. I will peruse the learning center though...once I find it! I had decided to put the chickens off until my mother passed. I had a coop and everything else I needed, so my son decided it was time. Most of the time I do not regret it. The biggest problem is watching and entertaining myself with them. Housework is suffering a bit! Oh well.
