@farmerjohn Great! We have two chickens that are already 4 yrs old. We had four, but two have died. They lay eggs quite seldom... but our son wants to keep them, since they are his pets and he loves them.

@tanjaostman @farmerjohn we always raised 50 hens and 50 roosters. The neighbors called my dad, "Chicken Harold"🤣 Most of the roosters went in the freezer... But we always had our pets. A few spent the day on my dad's workbench in the garage watching him work, or sit on his lap when he rested in the shade. I remember the sweetness of cuddling a hen.

@MaryMamuzich So sweet! Then you know what these animals are like.

@tanjaostman yes, we had cows, horses, chickens and pigs... Lots and cats and dogs. Huge garden...

@MaryMamuzich wow, such an upbringing! My son, who is an animal lover, would have loved it! I am allergic to fur animals, so we have two rabbits who live outdoors.

@tanjaostman I really did have a fairytale childhood. My parents had a honeymoon that lasted 67 years. My dad is with Jesus, my sweet mom will be 91 in May.
