Our emotions play a big role in our
mental health. Sometimes we feel
sad, mad, or worried and this can
affect how we act.
The best way to make sure we are
staying emotionally healthy is
realizing when we are not feeling
ourselves and then finding ways to
help ourselves balance out again.
A good way to do that, is to talk to
someone you trust, get outside,
engage in playtime, and get some
exercise.
Chickens are not the only ones who
need help staying emotionally
healthy.
Feeding and cleaning is not the
only part of raising a healthy flock
of chickens. Chickens also need to
be happy.
How can we improve the mental
health of our chickens?
