An unexpected benefit of chicken ownership has recently occurred to me. It seems owning chickens has provided me with excellent small talk material- you could call it a bonanza of chicken chat. You see, no matter what the social situation, I always find a way to
segue into talk about our chickens. And this always leads to talk about other peoples chickens, and next thing you know we are discussing food, and fertilizer (which brings up the current president), and then we talk about coops, and the grocery store, and a mix of other topics. Chickens provide a conversational pathway to all many topics and at the same time allow for comfort knowing that no matter how bad things get we can always raise chickens and have eggs.
