[Ag-eq] Chickens

Michelle:

I'm sorry you had such a bad experience; people can be so inconsiderate!

Once while I was shopping 2 women from a church got down on the floor and
started praying for me!  I was so embarrissed, and didn't know what to do.  The
whole time I'm thinking you better be praying for yourselves because I'm having
murderous thoughts right now.  People just need to mind their own business.

I'm glad the mini horses will be closer to you; I hope this means you will get
to spend even more time with them.  How did you get into mini horses?

This may be a stupid question, but are there different breeds of mini horses?

I don't know much about them, other than they're really cute!

Please tell us more about the farm and what you're learning.

Take care.

Nella
