  1. I am a great fan of Paul Wheaton. Last year, I read the article in the link. It seems I have been raising chickens right all this time. I also taught my hens not to leave the yard. I don’t have paddocks, but my hens usually get 12 or so hours in the yard. My yard has not been harmed by them. I could afford the ticket, but I wonder if this event would justify a plane ticket from Alabama.

    My hens never get chicken food!
