Are you trying to cut back on expenses? Tired of all the bills you pay each month. One step you can take is to cancel your cable TV. We did this years ago and have never regretted the decision. We still have a TV and DVD player and watch movies and even subscribe to Netflix. So we have plenty of entertainment when we want it.
Another way we enjoy entertainment is by watching our chickens!
Chickens provide hours of entertainment. The minute we drive in the driveway they all come running; curious to see if we have any treats for them. During the fall we allow the chickens to free range, this means they can pretty much go wherever they want to. We often find them peering into our back door as if to say, “can we come in?”
Our Buff Orpingtons are so friendly; I think they would rather spend time with us then with the rest of the flock. When my mother was visiting this summer, one of the buffs squeezed through the fence and began to follow my mother around. Eventually my mom just sat down on the coop steps and held the little Buff, that’s all she wanted.
If you want some real entertainment give one of the chickens a worm, they will run around trying to quickly swallow the worm before any of the other birds can catch her. Not only are chickens entertaining but they also supply us with beautiful fresh eggs every day!
So if you’re looking for ways to cut your budget consider cutting the cable and getting a few chickens instead. You’ll be amazed at just how entertaining they can be!
