When i Got my first pulley egg I was elated! My family thought I was pretty weird a I gently put the egg on the carton and then took a picture
Wonderful!I absolutely love this! I've seen a few nursing homes are getting chickens now for their residents aside from the canaries and finches in the hutch that you usually see I suppose. I can think of nothing better than watching chickens. I heard once that watching chickens is like looking out over the ocean. There is constant motion and movement in them that is so relaxing.
The hands-on chores of doing something worthwhile and caring for something that gives back in eggs or love is a powerful thing. I remember my husband's Grandmother had to be moved to assisted living after 90 some years on a farm. She obviously became depressed and expressed her dislike for the assisted living. Some of the family members tried to keep pursuing her to like it...but I understood and I let her vent with me. Can you Imagine? But she would leave ovens on and such...you get the picture. Well I just made it my goal to bring a pumpkin to carve with her at Halloween or bring her out to the farm and have her help me husk sweetcorn for dinner. These simple things--her using her hands-- I think helped her. I still remember those ears of corn shucked to perfection. Not one silk left on the ear and mine with threads stuck and hard to get off. Her hands remembered with all their experience.
Those chickens in those settings....just wonderful.
allot of captions are running through my mind...LOL....cute...My first girl to lay an egg, Cluck-Cluck, with her first egg last year. I just happened to be out there at the time cleaning the coop, told her she was a good girl. After she laid it she just kinda stood there with a surprised look on her face... "What the..?" Hahaha I pulled it out of the nest box and she just sat there staring at it.
*Gasps* How can any person in the right mind not love bacon!?Not me
