Apparently, my second cousin has taken to raising chickens for the eggs in her back yard. She posted this picture with the caption: “Lucy has taken to jumping up on my lap to get some loving each day while i am out to visit. She hops up and sits while I pet her. She is so sweet!”
A chicken with a personality?! Well, gee whiz.
Anywho, enjoy your dinner tonight!Well, personally, I think these four chickens are the luckiest chickens around. They have a human mama that loves them and they get to run around the yard and play. They even give the cats trouble! They are not mistreated in any way and are being spoiled rotten by my cousin. I know vegans and most vegetarians don’t eat eggs, but geez, these guys are living the life…. nothing compared to the chicken factories. And quite honestly, I don’t think my cousin is doing this solely for the eggs. She lost her son when she was six months pregnant and had to go through delivering her stillborn child. I think she is mothering these chickens and I say more power to her!
She has also rescued four 3 week old kittens that were abondoned under her deck. She has been teaching them how to poop and pee and feeding them throughout the day for several weeks all while working 50+ hours per week. I wish all chickens and kittens could be so damn lucky!!
I think that she’s awesome! I’m stoked for these chickens! I wasn’t talking about her, I was talking about other people who don’t think that chickens have personalities.
Well, I am relieved. Laura just loves those chickens and was freaking out when one strayed from the group. She immediately took her to the vet and there was nothing wrong. She actually is taking on much more than she can handle and I have to give her credit. She has researched this and is doing everything she can for these girls. I’m going to go see them Friday if you want to come.
