Okay tomorrow is tillin' and plantin' day. Mostly the usual stuff - 'maters and 'taters.
I am going to try an experiment. As I understand it chickens come from "a farm" which is like gardening. So, do I plant the chickens feet first or head first?

So I planted bird seed hoping to grow some birds.
We moved away before I got the chance to see if it worked.
This is your opportunity to carry on my experiment...
Plant some chicken feed and let me know what, if anything, comes up.

Not sure what they'd look like...maybe anything that doesn't resemble a bird seed...
