What they never tell you...
New chicken owners — this one's for you.
The #1 thing nobody tells you before you get chickens:
They will completely rearrange your priorities (and your day).
You'll start getting up before the sun to let your girls out of the coop (even though you have a solar door with a timer set to open and close) and so you can give them black soldier fly larvae treats. You'll learn to speak "fowl" language and recognize each of their voices. You'll Google "is my hen molting or sick" at 11pm and find yourself prowling online chicken forums for answers. You'll be paranoid every time one sneezes, loses feathers, has runny poop, or "just doesn't look like her normal self." You'll make a vet appointment for a bird and feel zero shame about it.
And somewhere along the way, you'll realize that going out to the coop isn't a chore — it's the best part of your day.
If you're new here and still figuring it all out: what's the one thing you wish someone had told you before you got your first flock?
And if you've had chickens for years — what would YOU tell a beginner right now?
