The chickens



When we bought our place about 10 years ago the place was a mess! Most of the doors and windows were missing from the old farm house and the grass was about waist deep! Ticks were everywhere! Coming from the *big city* we didn't know much about these little critters. I asked around and everyone told me to get some chickens cuz they would eat up all the ticks. Well....we've always had chickens since then. At one point we had over 100 of them but now we just have maybe 15 or so. We get plenty of eggs to eat and have not ticks around the house. Plus chickens are very simple to keep. I enjoy watching them foraging around the yard all the time. Guess we'll probably have a few chickens around!
