I think it's so cool you are both on steemit... I had noticed in the ecotrain disccord channel!
Thank you for your kind words, it is very gratifying to help others as well. The chickens are being taken care of for the next couple weeks. I won't be able to pick them up until after the 4th of july (we're building compost toilets for a festival in the Adirondacks!!!).
I'm sure we'll enjoy them, as we decided (finally) that we should definitely have them. It is something we want and they just showed up on oir path... got to do it.π
