We started out in 2020 with seven chickens, raised as chicks in two batches. The first batch included Jess Junior, Bella, Biscuit, and Eggo. Later on came Sally, Deceptigod, and Ostro. As you can tell, my niece and nephew named most of them. Cody and I are both researchers at heart, so when we decided to get chickens we immersed ourselves in literature on chicken farming. We stocked up on electrolytes and medicines, and carefully regulated the temperature each night — first, to keep them warm enough, then to harden them off to cooler temperatures. I made sure to handle them and give them enough attention, so they’d become used to me. Of course I worried, too. It’s what you do when things that are alive depend on you. When it’s your job to keep them safe.
