Charming Chickens

I felt very privileged to have been able to watch Sergio working with the youngest of our little ladies as he welcomed them to their new home. Sergio spotted little Lonnie looking a bit lost in the big new space so he very carefully introduced her to the “Food Court” and showed her where to get a refreshing drink of water and where to find the constant supply of delicious proprietary feed we mill for the girls. Sergio shows the girls around and very gently teaches the youngsters where to find the privacy of the “ladies Nestrooms” to go into when they lay their eggs.

Chickens by nature are very skittish creatures that can be startled by just about everything. Sergio moves about the flock very slowly with the utmost care to keep from scaring the little ladies. He is checking to make sure everything is as it should be, and to make sure everyone is safe, sound, and able to find their way around. The chickens really appreciate his calm demeanor and serene guidance and we all appreciate the way he takes such good care to pamper and protect our feathered friends.

TCH CELEBRATES ANOTHER EMPLOYEE MILESTONE AT OUR

RETIREMENT PARTY FOR ARTHUR HENRY

AUGUST 31, 2015

 

          I have often considered my co-workers here at The Country Hen to be more like family members than co-workers. While it is true that many of us do work side-by-side with actual family members there is really not a defined distinction between relatives and co-workers while we are on the farm.

          This past Monday we all celebrated Arthur Henry’s well-earned retirement from his position as a Driver. Everyone enjoyed a catered meal in the shade of the trees while reminiscing with Art about good times and wishing him all the best for his retirement years. Art’s story will be highlighted in an upcoming Farm News insert as a tribute to his many dedicated years with The Country Hen. We thank him for his great work, his devotion to the farm and for all the fond memories shared.

WE WILL MISS YOU VERY MUCH ART AND WE HOPE

YOU ENJOY THE RIDE
