I wish BYC had a "LIKE" button, LOL! I am at the other end of the age spectrum, with two small children, one with special needs. But nothing is more relaxing than sitting and watching my flock peck around. Sometimes when I am frazzled, my sweet husband looks at me and says, "do you need a chicken moment?" Then he watches the kids while I go outside, have a diet coke, and commune with nature!
