Good thing you don't have to go shopping often with the mall that far, but our closest mall is 1hr away and I never go to it. I actually feel claustrophobic when I go to them [probably because I am outside so much with the flock] lol Sounds like an awesome place to live everyone owning animals and probably no one thinking your odd because you do, I'm sure some people I know think I've gone off the deep end. But that okay,. My dh really like our birds too he just hasn't ever taken part in the actual cleaning and feeding part, when we had one of our Muscovy ducklings in the house oh my gosh he was in love, even now him and Opie are best buds. I know it's such a joy to watch mama with chicks, gosling or ducklings I never get tired of it. Did the turkey hatch out turkey chicks? Enjoy your summer it goes by so fast."year´s rest of making a garden"....well the "making" is actually hubby and I....hoping that the Resting One will tend it once it´s going.
We´re 4 miles from a small town, and everyone around here has either chickens, ducks, geese, guinea fowl, pigs, cows, sheep...or a mix of these. The mall town is 2 hours´ drive north from the huge city of São Paulo.
My hubby and son are in touch with what I´m doing, and do show an interest, especially when I have little things indoors where they can´t be ignored! And they both enjoy seeing the birds around, the antics the birds get up to....chickens kicking everything off a shelf so they can lay an egg, or getting into the seedlings my hubby has been tending!, or just having a fun time splashing about in the pond. It´s such fun watching the muscovy ducklings stamping in the mud on the stream bottom to get bugs up, and the goslings when they first go into the pond. They go into crazy-mode, diving and kicking about. In the last 3 weeks we´ve had 4 chickens hatch eggs, so sweet the little bundles scratching about, and I let my turkey hatch out a couple of chicks too to keep her busy.
