I agree
@Wee Farmer Sarah, people think they’ll get some birds & have instant, free eggs. While chickens are easy to keep compared to a lot of other livestock, they aren’t cheap! I’m sure I pay more for my ‘free’ eggs than I would from the store. I, personally, raise them to know where my food comes from AND because I need to stay active, I enjoy the work. Same with the garden. If I had neither you’d see me on the news with the fire department having to cut out my bedroom wall to get me out of the house.



Ok maybe not that bad, but I need the exercise and to me it’s much more enjoyable than going for a run or to the gym - that I just can’t do. I’d much rather push a wheelbarrow & haul buckets of water.
& wow Sarah, you have gotten a lot more snow than me this year! Usually you only get a little more. I’m always the one begging for snow, not this year tho.
