When I first contemplated raising chickens for eggs and meat, nobody told me...
...that I would lose interest in work, reading, and gardening and only want to watch my crazy beautiful chicks grow
...that my favorite new "high" would be to hold one of my babies in my hands and watch them slowly nod off to sleep with perfect trust
...that I would cry unconsolably when I lost one of my babies
...that I would be pricing incubators within two days of my first chick shipment
...that my Dark Cornish meaties would be so striking and beautiful as their wings come in
...that I would now have chickens even if they didn't give me eggs and meat
...that I would be contemplating setting up a chicken tractor in a corner of our yard for new birds and hoping my husband just didn't notice
...I would fall so totally, irreparably in love with my chickens so fast
Thank you all for being here as my babies grow up. I wouldn't have had the courage to take the plunge without the support that this community is fantastic at. It takes a village to raise a chicken!
