Life, is a Learning curve.
I'm sorry to read you got layed off. I hope this will be short lived but, getting chores done is a feeling of great accomplishment.I'm really enjoying this thread!
I got laid off yesterday. I work in a conveyor belt factory, and it's not the first time I've had this happen. I'm not freaking out over it, I'm taking advantage of the time off!
It's so wonderful to have time to watch chicken TV! What is it about watching chickens that is so relaxing? I know I'm not the only one to experience a calming and relaxing feeling just by watching my birds. I like to offer treats such as scratch grains or dried meal worms to draw them closer to me. I have a few who are willing to take treats from my hands. Watching them interact with each other fascinates me. Their body language, vocalizations and posturing all say so much. Truly, they are very interesting!
I don't know when I will be returning to work. It could be weeks, it could be months. But I am taking full advantage of it. My son and I are almost ready to begin construction of a chicken tractor. I'm raising peeps and teenagers and have a small flock of adult hens. I have more coming in July (thanks to all you ENABLERS!) so there is plenty going on here!
