Trailer Living: when chickens got interesting

I was so close to passing off chicken duty to Mom.

It just wasn’t interesting anymore. I fed them. I watered them. I clucked at them and said a few words. They flapped their wings. They made noises. They never laid an egg.

Until a couple days ago.

I was a little bit excited.

And now that they’re actually doing something, I’ve retained my chicken responsibilities and expanded their horizons. My day has a chicken-rythym. Let them out of the coop in the morning. Close the door when they’ve roosted at sunset.

And, in the in-between time, watch them forage for bugs.
