Do you like just to sit and watch your flock be chickens?

[crj]

I just have a stressful life and my birds really help me through it all. I started with chickens and told my family everyone should at least own a chicken. Then I began to add ducks, then turkeys, then geese..... omg, then guineas! Will I ever stop???? I don't know!! But I do love watching all of them everyday, several times a day. They crack me up. I have several chairs scattered around the yard.... LOL.

I've got a friend who has twice as many chickens as I do. I tell her all about mine and she calls me "Crazy Chicken Lady". She's missing out on the fun, poor thing.

Today I was able to stay home from my busy nursing job at a local hospital, due to low census... you would think I would spend that time cleaning, chores, ect...nope, I sat outside and watched my chickens enjoy their unexpected freedom... (If I get a day off, so do they!) They make me laugh, and inspire me to enjoy the time you have free to inspect the world around you.

Love it! Late in the afternoon, after spending the day in the studio, we have a glass of wine and watch the peeps...and laugh out loud! I agree with everyone...They are our laugh therapy!

Did you laugh today?

It's one of my favorite things to do. I have an overturned milk crate in the run that I sit on each evening while I feed the girls greens, seeds and scratch. I love to watch them do "their thing" and I talk to them. I feel so happy and can feel whatever crap is going on take a backseat to what is right in front of me.

I definitely sit in front of my coop as often as I can and watch my girls and roo. I teach middle school and have been amazed by seeing the same behaviors in the chickens as I see with adolescents at school! Bullying will always be an issue I am afraid, it's nature. I have a lawn chair under the cherry tree by the coop, which is on the edge of the woods....very pleasant.

My chickens are 90% of the reason I dont get much else done, LOL! I could watch them all day!

The best is when I hang out laundry. I used a laundry basket to cart their fuzzy little butts in and out of the house when they were chicks and I *think* they remember it. I'll have the basket at my feet & they'll take turns sitting on it and chirping to me. One particularly "helpful" girl will pick the socks out of the basket and drop them on the ground. I cant help but giggle when she does that!
