... on our first week of chicken keeping:
:: I had no idea they poohed SO much!
:: I knew I was going to enjoy having them around but I wasn't prepared for how maternal I feel towards my girls!
:: My bedtime reading this week has been Starting with Chickens by Katie Thear and Keeping Chickens by Rebecca Hillman at Sallygardens.
:: Chickens get a bad press when it comes to brain power. They're actually more intelligent than you might think - they worked the ladder out very quickly and you should see them clustered around the back door waiting for Amy to get home from school and give them their handful of corn!
:: Chickens are lovely, but seriously - how much poo?!!!!

Footnote: Thanks to all of you who have emailed about knitted animals. I am slowly getting back into my groove and hope to have some ready to list on etsy soon - will send more details shortly.
