I went to top up the #sheep hay rack, to find that the #chickens had been busy there.

One of the things breaking my concentration today was what I thought was faint meowing from outside. It stopped whenever I turned off Floggy Molly to hear it better. But I finally tracked its origin!
It's not a cat. It's a chicken.
My neighbor's chicken is singing accompaniment to Flogging Molly.

How to unexpectedly acquire a chicken in 6 easy steps:
1) Go to a remote forest reserve in the hills where you've never seen a chicken before. Find a chicken waiting for you there.
2) Offer the chicken food. (I had an old, unopened muesli bar in my backpack that did the trick.)
3) Feed the chicken some of the food by the car.
4) Slowly open the car door, and put some of the food inside the car. Provide a step up into the car for the chicken. (If the chicken is suspicious of the backpack you first use as a step, swap that out for something the chicken recognises, like a nearby brick.)
5) Wait patiently for the chicken to hop up into the car.
6) Close the car door. Drive home with the chicken.

Was reminded of the time I had sunflowers suddenly arise on the edges of my garden.
We have chickens and the seed mixture we like to give them contains sunflower seeds. Given where they grew, my conclusion was that the chickens ate them and the seeds came out, uh, let’s say fertilized.
There’s a metaphor in there somewhere.

Our next newsletter will discuss something that maybe you've been thinking about (but probably not): raising chickens in a dryland environment. What aspects of care are different? How do chickens fit into a regenerative project? What alternatives to chickens are there and what differences are there in the niche they fill?
If your land is not arid or dryland, but you are concerned about increasing temperatures and more frequent droughts, some of the care information in this post may be useful as your environment changes in the near future.
I hope to release this early this week, but don't forget to subscribe so that you don't miss it in your inbox.
And please consider subscribing at our supporter tier for fun gifts twice a year and access to additional information - this month I'll be releasing a delightful recipe for paid subscribers only. We could use your support to keep this space going. Thank you!

Hi, we are Anna, Berta and Clara! But you can call us the Fediverse Chicks 😎
We are proud one-week-old Spanish chicks and have neither been to Poland nor Toronto. 🐤
We're not really that big into medicine, but we're hoping to get into AxWax's vegetable field someday!
Apologies for slow updates on the #FediverseChicks - they've been busy representing at the local pre-school.
They took it like true champs and were super calm, together with their mum, but as a compensation for their hassle they did get some quality time in the vegetable field (under strict supervision).
