A reflection on vigilance

[cate1124]

I’m so glad you posted this! I needed this. I’ve read so much about what all can go wrong with chickens (and ducks) that I can’t really enjoy this time when everything seems to be going okay. My flock is currently a huge source of anxiety for me and there’s not even anything wrong with them. Thank you, this is a good reminder to take some deep breaths and just enjoy watching them.

Wonderful! Please know you're not alone in getting caught up in everything that can go wrong, and in trying to instead recalibrate toward the considerable present-moment enjoyment of having a flock of creatures who are living their lives to the fullest, right now, with no anxiety for the future.
