Home is having chooks outside your kitchen window in covid times

Home is getting fresh eggs

Home is not getting salmonella poisoning

Home is spoiling chooks so much that they want to come in the house when you open the door

Home is not seeing anybody except the chooks for 2 weeks because of self-isolation’

Home is learning chook

Home is chooks learning English

Yes, they can

Home is protecting chooks from crows, pigeons, sparrows

Cockatoos, cockatiels, and

Planes.

Home is blocking holes in the fence with bricks

Brick walls

Keep them in

Keep them out

Home is re-blocking when the bricks move

Yes, they move bricks

Home is vitamising the kitchen scraps for the chooks

… they haven’t been taught to eat whole foods

Home is full of clucking

Home is looking outside wishing we could go further … outside

Ahhhhhh home
