A shout out for my chickens!

[sara1226]

I just want to say I've only had chickens since Mother's Day, and I love them! I know a lot of people just have them for eggs and/or meat, and end up butchering them and it's no big deal, but I couldn't do that. Each of the chickens in my flock have their own different "personality" and are very entertaining.

I have been working two jobs, keeping a large household in order, and raising a child with a chronic illness, all while I have chronic health issues myself... And my chickens give me a sense of peacefulness. I start my day taking care of them, and end my day taking care of them, and it takes my stress away and helps take my mind off of all the things I've been dealing with.

Chickens are amazing healers. They are incredible animals and can overcome quite a lot, I find them to be inspiring. They are forever teaching me to never give up, always making me laugh when I need it most.
Chickens are special, no other way to put it. And I agree, they do each have individual personailties.

I'm glad they have helped you through your tough times. Keep your chin up!

I am glad you are enjoying your chickens so much. So many people have posted about how their chickens help relieve stress or help them stay in the moment or feel like chicken therapy and I agree just being with the chickens is a great way to take my mind off of things.
