Some beautiful light hit this woman while she was feeding the chickens. The women of the Karen villages wear richly embroidered skirts that are made by hand. Northern Thailand is a very good place for finding original handmade fabrics and clothing, especially in the night markets of Chiang Mai, where the village women often go to sell their wares.

Question by peace[♥]&&happiness: What should I feed my pet chickens?
I have two pet chickens which are about 3 weeks to a month old, so they are still pretty small. I just ran out of chicken feed and need an alternative for a day. What are some foods that they can eat that you could find around the house?

Thankyouu:)

  1. Bread and cornflakes/other breakfast cereal that doesn’t contain added sugar. Sweetcorn – cook if frozen.

  4. If you have any greens such as broccoli, cabbage, lettuce, bread, fresh corn, and if you cut your grass rake it up and give it to them it has juices in it that are full of protein and vitamins and what not, also if you have a garden give them some plants off of it. I do this also because it helps lower the feeding bill. hope this helps.

  5. Bread or cereal without sugar.
    Mine love grass and most all veggies. They love tomatoes.
    At only a month old I would stick to very basic stuff like cereal or bread crumbs.
