The Sacrificial love of a mother hen for her Chicks.
"When I approach a sitting hen and her chicks, she often gathers them under her wings. If I get too close she can become quite vocal. I don’t speak “chicken,” but no one will convince me that the mother hen isn’t saying, “Stay back, buddy. You can’t have MY babies!” A mother hen will do everything in her power to protect her biddies. It’s her instinct. Call it chicken love if you will, but the hen is hardwired to protect them."

The Benefits of Managed Grazing Systems
Managing where and when livestock graze could improve land and pasture conditions, enhance livestock production, and encourage an increase in forage utilization.

Family gathering 😊
Chickens have very sophisticated social behaviourwith a dominance hierarchy where higher individuals dominate subordinate individuals. This is where the term “pecking order” comes from! The dominant male (cockerel) protects the females (hens) and they choose to feed close to him for safety

Free range chickens can also serve multiple functions in the garden, providing your family with more than just eggs or meat.
Debug A Space
Chickens eat bugs at all levels of the bugs life (adult, larval and egg). Leave your chickens in a space where you have a bug problem and within a few hours you will have a pest free area and have fed your chickens an abundance of protein rich food!
Spread Mulch
Place chickens on top of a mulch pile and they will spread it for you within hours.
Till Soil
Leave chickens in an area long enough and they will till the ground for you. Make sure they have normal feed in addition to what is growing so they’re not forced to eat something that they don’t want to.
Fertilize
Put chickens out in a pasture or soon to be garden space and let them naturally fertilize the soil with their manure.
Assist in Composting
Leave chickens on your compost pile and as they scratch it looking for bugs and other food sources, they will be oxygenating the pile. And as they add manure to the pile they will be contributing the necessary nitrogen element to the composting process.

Baby chicks have to be kept warm. But how do we find out the ideal temperature.?
How Much Heat Should Baby Chicks Have?
Baby chicks have the remarkable ability to find their ideal zone of warmth in the brooder and if you simply note your chicks’ positions, you’ll know whether the brooder temperature is too hot, not warm enough, or just right.
Temperature Correct
If the heat level is just right, chicks will be evenly spread throughout the brooder. With adequate food and fresh water, you’ll hear them making contented peeping sounds.
Temperature Too High
If your chicks are spread out around the perimeter of the brooder the temperature is likely too high. Raise the heat lamp another couple of inches and/or switch to lower wattage bulbs. The chicks will be silent and you may notice them panting and heads drooping.
Temperature Too Low
If the brooder is too cool, chicks will huddle together directly under the heat lamp. They will be noisy, a sign of distress. Lower the lamp closer to the floor of the brooder and/or put in higher watt bulbs.

Everyone likes brown eggs 😁 (desi eggs)/ (naatu kozhi muttai)
Eggs are loaded with nutrients, some of which are rare in the modern diet.
Here are 10 health benefits of eggs that have been confirmed in human studies.
1. Eggs Are Incredibly Nutritious
Eggs are among the most nutritious foods on the planet.
A whole egg contains all the nutrients required to turn a single cell into a baby chicken.
A single large boiled egg contains (1):
Vitamin A: 6% of the RDA
Folate: 5% of the RDA
Vitamin B5: 7% of the RDA
Vitamin B12: 9% of the RDA
Vitamin B2: 15% of the RDA
Phosphorus: 9% of the RDA
Selenium: 22% of the RDA
Eggs also contain decent amounts of Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Vitamin K, Vitamin B6, Calcium and Zinc
This is coming with 77 calories, 6 grams of protein and 5 grams of healthy fats.
Eggs also contain various other trace nutrients that are important for health.
Really... eggs are pretty much the perfect food, they contain a little bit of almost every nutrient we need.
