Aww, no chickens. You could keep worms to eat your scraps.
They are dinosaurs! And so funny when they run (lumber), with their wings airplaned out for balance. I've found just a huge difference (intelligence and chickenality) between the commodity chickens I bought from the store and the chickens that were raised from the egg here, and even crazier, compared to the chickens that grew up here raised by a mother that grew up here! It's like they remember to be birds.
I find that extremely interesting!
