    Chicken Shenanigans (video)

    I made a video for my friends of my 5 hens a while ago, and I realized- I never posted it here! I'm currently editing another video for them (I need to record more clips though) so there will be more like this in the future lol

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    I have 5 hens who will be 6 months old in a few days, and they've all started giving me eggs. Today I got 4 eggs! Normally I get 2, maybe 3, so I was pretty happy :)
