it's a chicken thing...

it has been over a year since the chickie peas came to live at mossy shed,

over a year of being a mother hen...

they were indeed the very reason for moving to the shed and it's acre of moss.

in a year they have been my constant source of daily delights,

in short they are all i had hoped they would be

and so much more.

if you are sitting on the fence,

debating whether or not to bring a feathered friend or two into your life and your backyard,

i would advise you to think no longer and just do it,

and i am quite certain my advice is echoed all around

for many of you already know the joys i'm talking about...

the joy of having a few funny birds,

just doing their thing,

day after day,

never talking back to you,

always happy to see you,

wonderful at keeping secrets

and

never a complaint about your food offerings.

quite simply put,

i hope never to be without a few backyard chickens,

for the rest of my days
