Have I ever mentioned how easy chickens are to tend to? With 6 chickens, I can get by with just feeding feed to them and watering them once every other day. Of course, I spoil mine with a "chicken salad" every morning and an occasional left over or two after our dinners on the patio.
Here is the cool thing. Chickens put themselves to bed! It is amazing to watch. They will wander all around the yard aimlessly searching for their next snack, but shortly after the sun goes down, everyone of them head back to the coop. Sometimes if you look away, you will miss it and wonder..."where did the chickens go?" Upon their retreat, I always shut the coop door to keep predators out. It is fun to listen to them chatting with each other in a manner you don't hear that often during the day. It's almost like they are saying "Good night...Sleep tight."
