Just to the right of my desk sits a window I can gaze out of to savor the weather, daydream, think and process, or to giggle at our flock of seven chickens. It helps keep work\/life balance in some ways, but today, as I study the sky from Propel’s control center, I’m in a mellow mood thinking about a beautiful pet we lost last weekend…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like a plant needing sunlight, when I rearranged and redecorated my office<\/a> early 2021, I knew I needed my desk close to the window. Seeing the rain drizzling down or the sunlight pouring in, the change of seasons in the trees, and watching the hens peck and scratch for grub helps my brain decompress or provides a quick break from the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was mid-2020 that we decided to get half a dozen laying chicks. We were told one would definitely be a rooster, so we got seven expecting such, and when none of them ended up as a male, we knew we were meant to have seven. They have free range run of the back and side yards and are happy, healthy, beautiful birds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
