Have you ever stood in your yard and called your chickens? Have they ever come running like a herd of wildebeest across the plain? Have you ever possessed the sense you may be the most powerful human being on planet Earth, that this may be the peak of your life?
Well, if so, you have experienced tame chickens When someone sees my flock of almost 30 chickens flying and running behind me, they may see someone crazy, but I feel like some sort of Snow White/ Queen of the Beasts
Regardless of breed,
That moment when your spring pullets start laying their first eggs is one of the best parts of keeping chickens After months of feeding, watering, and watching them grow, finding those first little eggs feels like a real reward What is not so rewarding is the daily Easter egg hunt that happens when your hens decide a hidden corner of the yard is better than the cozy boxes you built for them If you want to encourage chickens to lay in nesting boxes instead of scattering eggs everywhere, you are in good company, because nearly every flock owner runs
