21: How to integrate your Chickens and your Babies. Motherhood meets murderous Kookaburras.
<p>Is Arancauna a beach that Americans holiday at? We aren't sure, honestly, it's unlikely that we can be bothered to find out. There's gardening and sleep to be had. We are genuinely interested in how egg colour works though, do let us know if you have answers on that. </p> <p>In this episode, Jackie admits that she has joined the 'cluck side' (apologies for the terrible pun). With her 4 new chickens roaming the yard, she and Laura talk through the joy of rainbow eggers, integrating new chickens at a young age, whether rabbits are appropriate weeding tools, and if they are cuddlier than chickens. Jacke talks for slightly too long about the names and breeds of her hens, but that's what we're hear for (sorry again for the puns). </p> <p>Laura is accompanied by her newest squeaky of her brood, which means *bonus adorable newborn noises for inclined listeners*. </p> <p>Laura shares that her girls have submitted to peer pressure, following the example led by her new ISA brown mix - with all hens busting out a bounty of eggs. </p>
