Not too many people find the time to observe free roaming chickens for hours on end; I do in the spring summer and fall. I was awestruck at their intelligence, strong loving relationships, bravery, and playfulness. I only have three of my chickens left to observe at this time. I had no choice but to find a good home for the rest of them, which I did. I still love them, and my five ducks, which I still miss daily, they are so loving to watch.
