We wanted chickens so badly this year but with H5N1 spreading and owning 3 cats (which seem to have a high death rate from H5N1) I’m still not sure if it’s a great idea. If anyone can convince me though I would still happily get chickens.

Did they have a fountain or pond in the courtyard? We have an above ground pool and are one of the few neighbors with fireflies in our yard. We also have a lot of native flowers though so maybe that helps

I think (most) millenials and gen z are in pretty good agreement with what policies we want for the future, though. So I’m not that worried.
