Raising chickens is really such an amazingly rewarding experience and it reaches far beyond any potential monetary gain. As I look back on this journey which began with me worrying for a couple days that they'd survive in mail transit to the day I picked them up (March 12th) from the Post Office, and caring for these little hatchlings that couldn't even see straight to now collecting their eggs and making so many observations of their development along the way. It demanded faith and perseverance and compassion, and tenderness along the way to a depth that I did not expect. I totally recommend it if it's allowed in your town.
I've learned a whole bunch about life, the natural world, and myself in so many ways that I can't even list them all here. A holistic experience? Maybe so. I will say this: It feels like a life changing event and it's one that I wholeheartedly embrace.
