Hi everyone! I had to make a trip to town today to get chicken feed and pine shavings for my hens. This takes me most of the day because I try to do other errands while I am there. The landscaping on the trip down is so pretty this time of year. My hens miss me when they don't see me all day, as I go to the coop and talk to them, telling them what "good little girls" they are. I know, some people think this is "sick" but they obviously don't have any place in their heart for any animals or birds. However, they really like to come by and get eggs!
I have made an observation. The days that I hold a few hens and talk sweetly to them, the eggs are bigger the next day. They really like attention. They also look up into my face and make sweet sounds.
Certain breeds are much more docile than others which I learned by handling them. So much for my hens.
When one lives in the country it is really a good thing to have chickens, because so many people come by just to visit and to see the chickens and ask lots of questions. It is an excellent way to meet new friends.
