What in Babylon? To each his or her own. Love my two children, would literally die for them. At the same time i never thought that having children is essential for everybody to be more happy.
Also i think there are so many people who would have been better off without them.
At first i was underwhelmed by the new design. But as soon as i disabled the title bar and added the 'Breeze Duo' extension (i'm on KDE/Breeze) i was hooked. And concerning Pocket - i just removed the icon, works for me.
Since i was without a freelance project for 2 weeks when the lockdown started i finally took the time to build a chicken run and and a coop.
We wanted to do this for years and now that they are here i can say keeping chickens (we've got 6 hens) is one of the best things i ever did. They are very rewarding.
I think it is important to research what type of chicken is best suited for you. Ours are Jersey Giants, a so-called dual use breed. We keep them for eggs and meat, i'm used to the butchering part.
We let them roam freely for the most part of the day so they can hunt for bugs and snails. So far they don't mess up the garden too much...
