A blog by Chicken Wrangler Sara
There have been a couple of articles about chickens in the newspaper lately.
One of them talked about free range chickens in Bastrop, Texas. Apparently the free range chickens belong to a chicken sanctuary which has done such a good job protecting them, the population has exploded. The city is working with a local zoo to provide a new home for the birds.
I’m just glad we don’t live closer. Our home tends to collect roaming animals and we are about full.
Another article talked about the popularity of raising backyard chickens. It is becoming a status symbol in California.
We have been keeping chickens for almost 10 years. I guess Miller Farm is just ahead of its time.
Somehow, I tend to believe raising chicken might be a tad more involved than turning them loose in the backyard and gathering the eggs for breakfast.
Cynic? I don’t think so, just cautious.
