Recently we ventured up North to see the Peach Blossoms at Sweet Eats Fruit Farm. The blossoms only appear for a short while, so we had to rush up there while we could.
This being a farm and all, chickens were roaming around and they weren’t the least concerned about us humans.
At last we can answer the age-old question: “Why did the chicken cross the road?”
…To get to the Peach Trees!

The neighborhood where my son lives has a house that keeps chickens. On walks, we like to take our grandchildren to see them. One time my toddler-aged granddaughter got a bit too close to the chicken wire fence and got pecked in her check. A minor wound but a major lesson.

Luckily for us, Hannah was interested but wary. She kept her distance without being prompted. I was concerned that she might try to pet one of them, something I doubt the chicken would appreciate.

They’re cute but not particularly friendly. I wonder when my granddaughter will make the connection between the chickens she sees in the neighbor’s yard and the chicken she eats?

Hehe. That might be an “interesting” conversation down the road. So far, I’m lucky I don’t have to explain that to Hannah yet.

We had 3,000 chickens when I was a kid (5-12years) They ranged from day-old chicks to non-layers and “ready for the pot.” I had a few of them who were pets and they’d fly up and sit on my shoulder when I went to feed them. They loved flavoured/coloured popcorn as a special treat. Some of them didn’t like it when you tried to collect the eggs morning and night. Love a $ for every time they pecked me 😀

That’s a lot of chickens! This must’ve seemed like old hat to you. For me it was a real treat, for Hannah too. She was very excited to see them. I’m just glad they didn’t peck her.
