I've only had chickens for 6 weeks but I love them so much. I really think they cured my depression. I wasn't severely depressed, just in a funk. And I'm sure part of it was from the long winter and what not, but ever since my husband opened up to the idea of me getting chickens I spent a couple months researching everything. Once I felt I knew enough to take care of them we got 6 baby chicks from TSC from the red pullet bin. They have become my hobby. My son and I go out everyday and let a couple at a time roam the yard supervised (the run isn't complete yet.) Today my Chickadee hopped up in my lap like a little puppy and just sat there soaking up the sun. And then the other one, Lacey hopped up there with her, and she used to be afraid of me. I have found that having chickens really makes you appreciate the little things in life, simple things. I just feel so much happier now. Just thought I would share that and see if anyone has a similar experience.
