Chickens for depression

[McChooky]

Someone gave me 6 baby chicks. I started reading all I could by baying a book for kids on how to raise them. I bought a d put together a coop with a run. I let them out every day at dusk a d just watch them. I have given them cold strawberries a d watermelon. But don't know exactly how to do the treat thing. Is it really once a day or once a week? My mood has really changed a d I am getting attached to them. I feel joy and happiness. They are 8 weeks old now. My depression has truly lifted.

I also have 6 chickadees that are 8 weeks old !It took me a couple months to finish the coop and run I was making.(I'm adding finishing touches now) I've decided to make them a much larger covered run and won't be making them a chicken tractor.One of those isn't practical here(not enough grass). Now I get out of bed early without setting an alarm and spend most of the day working on my place. My chickens changed my life too!
