I have so enjoyed reading about all of your chickens and the sweet pictures of you and your babies holding them. I am new to raising chickens. In fact I got a small flock 6 to be exact for my birthday in May. I have added 6 more chickens. I every day go out and feed them snacks, take care of their pen, water....okay you guys know the drill. I admit to reading your posts with a bit of envy with you all having such trusting birds. I thought about God, (at this point if the God thing makes you uncomfortable go ahead and go on to another posting) about how he made us. How he might long to hold us in his arms, his creation. To have a relasionship with us. To make sure we have food and water and shelter. How he would want to keep us safe from predators. And funny enough well I am pondering this thought one of my little bantam old english hens, came over sat in my lap and while I was petting her fell asleep. Lol, I guess he can use a chicken even to teach us a life lesson.
