I just love chickens.  I never thought that I would like them because I was raised with the feeling that birds have diseases and mites and shouldn’t be touched.  When I bought my chickens as babies, they were so cute.  Everyone told me not to name them because they die easily, but I didn’t care.  I named them all.  I pet them and talk to them.  Now they are laying eggs every day and I have fresh eggs that are healthy an good for my family.  The flavor is better than most of the ones I was buying at the store.  Yeah for my feathery friends.
