12 close friends! One from work, five from online, five from high school and one lifelong best friend. I'm pretty introverted, but a small section of my teenage friend group has stayed pretty close knit :wee
One of my hens went broody a week or so ago, and now another one has followed her. I'm still deciding whether to give them chicks to hatch or not, but for now I wanted to share the pictures. They look so silly all puffed up!

Her head is completely missing, as is most of her chest, no other chicken parts scattered around. No...
Ello!
I've taken up the mantle of taking care of my family's little flock for about a year now. I've been slowly working on improving our routine and equipment so they can be living as good of a life as possible. It's been difficult for me with health issues n' stuff, but we're getting there...
