Everyone, happy Thursday. Welcome back to the Good Day podcast. I hope you've been having a great week so far. It's been a busy one over here and kind of interesting actually. At quick story time,

we got a rooster for our chickens or to add in to our chickens. We have, I think we have 19

chickens now. We've lost a couple in the last year, unfortunately. So anyway, when we got chickens, we did not get a rooster.

Like, you know, and you just go pick up the chicks from the feed supply store. You don't know if you're

getting roosters or hens or what it's going to be. There's no real way of telling. It's just

kind of luck of the draw, basically. Well, we didn't get any roosters, which is crazy to me because all, like growing up,

we had chickens. I grew up with chickens. My mom was always, she always had chickens and it was so much

fun, which is part of the reason why I wanted to live in the country and have chickens for my kiddos

to experience that and kind of get like a little taste of like farm life like on a very

small scale um but anyway we always ended up with roosters when I was a kid and sometimes like

a couple and you ended up having to like get rid of some or whatever um but with this batch of chickens

that we got we had no rooster and they, like, the hens have been fighting a lot

lately, just like picking at each other. I think, this is my theory. I think they're going crazy from all the wind because I can sympathize with that. I think I'm going crazy from all the wind. We have had this brig. And I think it's making the girls irritable. The hens, they're just, they're picking at each other all

the time. We actually had to buy a little mini coop. This is such a random story, but we had to buy a little

mini coop to keep the ones that we're getting picked on in until they had healed up because chickens

are kind of gross. I'm just being honest with you. They will like pick at each other until like pick it

to death, literally,

like especially once it draws blood.

Oh, it's disgusting.

You probably don't want to hear about this right now.

So I'm sorry for this very randomly story.

But anyway, a lot of people told us that we needed a rooster to keep the hens.
