    Having a couple dozen chickens is much different than having 500,000 chickens.

    I’ve felt that but I haven’t really put it into words. My flock of modern dinosaurs gets to run around and eat all the ticks while standing in the sun and digging in the dirt. I’ve never had chickens before these, and the thing that surprised me is that they aren’t mindless balls of feathers. They have personalities. They communicate. They make lots of dinosaur noises too.

      I like chickens more than people. They are wonderful little beings. They make me so incredibly happy as they run around and peck at each other.

      Nature sequesters carbon. If you are farming within the natural limits of your land you shouldn’t be generating much carbon at all.

      All these people have a hard time imagining an old timey farming. Pre Industrial Revolution. There are plenty of natural farms around to this day. Tons of farmers, honoring traditional farming practices.
