About Chickens and Farmer Mommy
What's A Farmer Mommy?
Educated: A farmer mommy is someone who has read books, and articles, and how to's before committing to purchase baby chicks. She has the resources to build a sturdy indoor and outdoor coop to keep predators out. She has the time to dedicate to morning and early evening routines seven days a week. She also knows that to keep her flock healthy, indoor and outdoor coops have to be cleaned on a regular basis. She knows that this task in particular can't be ignored.
What about summer?: When summers are hot she puts fans in their coops, and gives cold fresh water more than once during the day.
What about winter?: When it is cold out, she brings warm water to warm them. When winds are blowing hard, she feeds them inside their coop until the good weather returns.
Roosters: She doesn’t put up with mean roosters that want to dominate. She can stand against them as needed a few times to let them know she is large and in charge. She tells her roosters to behave themselves in front of her! (They don't listen very often, though).
What to do when things get crazy: She will watch the flock diligently and protect the weaker hens who are picked on, and hurt by the mating ritual. Chickens that manage to get under, around or over fences, have to be found and rescued. Farmer mommy also knows that the silly thing called chicken, have little bird brains who can't remember how to get back to whence they came.
Why all the work?: Because raising chicks is fun and lessons are learned! Wonderful discoveries are made to ensure a happy, healthy and productive flock. Not only that, absolutely without a doubt, she knows for a fact that her chickens make the best tasting eggs in America!
