tielan: brown chicken looking at camera, white chicken in profile (garden 01 - pumpkin vine)

Okay, so I wrote a post on Real Chooken Keeping and divided the follow-up into three sections:
One. "we all need our own place to live, not just somewhere to park the henhouse"

Two. "care and feeding of your chooken"

Three. "eggs, and all that jazz"

However in trying to write these sections, I'm finding a lot of overlap. That might just be the way that my brain works, leaping from idea to idea lightly. It makes converssations a pain, because we derail really fast and often end up somewhere completely unexpected which then requires backtracking. My brain is more of a web of ideas, all linked up, and that doesn't make it very easy to write a blogpost.

Also: I've been doing this for a while, if not physically (3 years) then mentally (about 20 years). I had a really clear idea of the functions that chickens were going to play in my garden - and the eggs were really a minor thing in the scheme of things.

So, what would you want to know from each topic if you'd suddenly bought chickens for eggs during these lockdown/isolation time and you didn't know a thing about chicken keeping (except that it was 'easy' and you 'get eggs'?
