Your storytelling always makes me laugh, it’s so fun to read. But I hope things get less stressful soon!

The quote that made me laugh: “The first rule of propaganda is: If you say it long enough and loud enough, eventually everyone will believe it. I am a victim.”

In my experience, most “new to X farm animal” people are.

I was reared on a farm in Kansas (which is why I still use words like “reared”) where we had chickens, goats, sheep, and an occasional cow. The sheep were the hardest (and we were definitely victims of propaganda and a shady business deal there), but chickens were a close second. It’s not that they are destructive, it’s that they’re both incredibly stupid and smart at the same time. They weren’t hard to keep alive (there’s the “easy”), but they don’t submit to enclosures at all, and (in our case) loved to poop on the back porch.

Good luck as you continue on your journey 😆
