I seem to have missed the bit where you became a farmer, but I have missed quite a bit recently :S

Fun things with chicken coops, trying to make them predator resistant. If you have a dog that won't eat them itself they're sometimes useful as flock guardians as smaller predators probably won't come around if there's a big dog patrolling the area.

We used to have naked necks as they're cool looking (well I think anyway, naked neck chicks are the cutest XD

They're easier to pluck apparently. My partner knows how to do the killing and cleaning and cutting, I know in theory but don't do that side of things.

Good luck with the next lot of chores :)
