It is easy for Martha because she has a whole staff to do all the dirty work, haha. Just like how she makes cooking look so easy on tv, her crew behind the scenes does all the prep and clean up.
I will admit that my daughter and granddaughter did have some fun with the chickens, but after a while the fun wore off and it was all work..... lots of dirty work. Forget ever taking a vacation or getting sick, tending to chickens is a daily chore, and not many people are willing to assist. Of course I had to help many times, which is why I was so glad to see them go. We paid someone to tear down the chicken coop, and the funny thing is that a whole patch of grape tomato plants popped up there and was thriving because of the chicken manure.
