I teach as well as have three kids - two flown and one that's a senior. I started raising chickens because my son hatched them in class and now am thinking I love watching the funny breeds getting the eggs, but trying to keep something alive that seriously seems to have a death wish in an area where everything would love to have them for dinner as well as hating cleaning the coops, needing to take water and food out every day (I have large containers too but something is eating the food, our outside hydrant broke so every day it is).... And my coops are a mess. I have two coops one nice walk in one and one large one that you have to hunch over and it's really long, so it's super annoying to clean. I frequently think if someone offered to buy it and the chickens in that one, it would be gone tomorrow. I do care about those chickens - especially my favorites, but ugh. At this point I'm regretting life choices. :) Including teaching middle school and coaching esports which means I never see day light and am then working on chicken stuff in the dark all the time.

We are back! Working on the classroom stuff now. Bear with me! Meanwhile, lets see some birds!

Is it just me or does her stripes make her look like she is cleaning up ditches in a chain gang? Lol
