Ten Reasons You Should Spend Ten Extra Minutes With Your Flock Every Day

Could not agree more with the "Who needs TV when you have chickens" comment. They are so very entertaining!

Excellent article!

Great thoughts!

I spend a lot of time with all of my flocks. One of my top favorite things about chickens is that each and every one of them has a unique personality and different preferences that cannot be matched by another. They are more human-like than most people believe－they are far from emotionless and dumb, as they are stereotyped. My chickens are for enjoyment, not meat or eggs. I want them to live a happen life and I want to bond with them every day.

Agree with all of it. I probably spend a good 4-5 hours total per day with mine. Since I'm an empty nester now and I don't work outside of the home, it's my full time gig and I really enjoy it.

I spend about 1/2 to an hour a day with my chicks. I think they think I am part of the flock.

very fun and interactive article.

Great ideas for a new or experienced owner. With life moving a million miles an hour it’s easy to forget what slowing down even for 10 minutes to train your dog or hanging out with your chicken can do. it’s so beneficial for both!

Very true information!

I’m new to raising a flock but this article confirms that I’m on the right track, as I’m already doing & feeling many of the points the author mentioned… thx

Great reasons!

Love it!!!!

Lovely article. My chickens help me to relax and slow down from the stress and rush of life.

So true! Great article as we love to be greeted and even hold our chickens on a regular basis. We have videos of my son holding our big barred rock rooster like a baby and he lays there cuddled in his arms and crows. So cute.

Very helpful, love the pictures!

Great article, I spend a lot of time with my flock, we even take walks together, it’s the best parts of my day.

good article

Great article. really sweet. Motivates me to be a better chicken momma

Great article! Definitely made me want to go and hang out with my flock for 10 minutes. Never thought about all the benefits of it though.

We are looking forward to spending time with our chickens! Especially with everyone spending so much time at home.
