The Good Life

The other day, someone asked me what we do with our chickens when they can no longer lay eggs. What?! We let our chickens (and all our animals) live their lives until the end. I guess the ones that are no longer laying eggs are just like us older ladies, still worth keeping.

I thought about our animals. In my opinion they live a pretty good life. We have a large pen surrounded by sugar cane. The goats nibble on it all day long.
The ducks have their own private bathtub/pond built by our boys.

We live by the rule that we take care feeding the animals first then we feed ourselves. We have postponed many meals while the animals were being fed.

We have housed sick and weak animals, and bottle fed lambs and kids when their mothers were not able to.  Not a bad life.
