Everything You Need to Know About Keeping Chickens As Pets

April 12, 2016

If you have ever thought about keeping pet chickens then you probably have a few questions. What do they eat, how much space do they need, are they hard to care for, do they stink?

Barbara O'Reilly, AKA Babs, AKA Patchwork Cactus is a blogger, a writer, a trash TV watcher and an Instagram addicted shutterbug. Although a journalist by trade, the three week old baby stowed away under her graduation gown steered her away from the world of reporting and right into the blogosphere.
Babs, her almost-hubby and their two kids are attempting to live the slow life in a beach side suburb on the east coast of Australia, they have the rickety house, the pet chickens and the barefoot kids but are yet to find the 'slow'.
Her blog Patchwork Cactus is where she talks about making, baking, parenting and living a happy beachside life. Feel free to stalk her on Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest.
PS - She wrote this bio with a nude two year old sitting on her shoulder like an actual parrot. True story.
