			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><div id="attachment_150" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.flowerpotheaven.com/gardeningtips/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/P1000287.JPG"><img src="http://www.flowerpotheaven.com/gardeningtips/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/P1000287-300x224.jpg" alt="Cute frizzle chickens" title="Frizzle Chickens" width="300" height="224" class="size-medium wp-image-150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Cute frizzle chickens</p></div> I never used to think much about chickens.  In fact I don&#8217;t think I thought much about them at all.  I was more used to the fluffy cuddly type pets like dogs and cats and bunnies.  Having said that, since I&#8217;ve embarked on a suburban sustainability and a &#8216;tread lightly&#8217; on this earth journey, it would appear that if you are even remotely trying to start an organic/permaculture type garden, then chickens are a must-have in the backyard.  Thus started our chicken adventure and to be honest, they have grown on me and I really like them.  They have funny little personalities and keep me company when I&#8217;m gardening.</p>
