It is so interesting that these six chickens we have can make us laugh so loudly and, in the next second, turn concerned. Love, laughter, fret, anxiety, annoyance are all emotions we feel daily with these little growers. We've been fortunate that all six have survived in our care since they...

Well, I picked up all the poo last night (which is usually a daily occurance) from their coop & free-range area. (And, yes, had rubber gloves on before anyone asks) No pearl found when squeezing the poo's. It was very interesting though. Didn't know that their poo feels like a hairball in a...
