Yeah! We got a couple of backyard chooks and thought it’d be eggs all the way.

Three years later, and we’re taking Belinda ‘the bruiser’ to the vet tomorrow for her second hormone implant. Turns out the ISA Browns that are bred to lay have their insides just destroyed by the constant production.

So you can let them die, or you can spend thousands of dollars keeping them alive. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I had no idea I’d love chickens this much. They’re tremendous animals.
