I have to say that i originally got chickens for their pest/bug patrolling capabilities;
eggs are just a bonus and chicken tv is always great but, not nearly as great as incubator tv!
Yes to all. Also suffering from anxiety and depression is hard. I go see my flock and everything seems to melt away.
Especially when you collect eggs or hear your roos crow
YES to all, but I also have a very stressful job and suffer with panic disorder. I find sitting with the girls very calming and watching their antics lightens my mood. Their little noises are so calming. The eggs are amazing too!
