International Respect for Chickens Day

Thinking Like a Chicken Podcast
News & Views!

Today I want to tell you about a very special day in May – a day meant for all chickens! May 4th is International Respect for Chickens Day – a day to celebrate chickens, wherever we may be, by doing an inspiring Action of Compassion for these wonderful birds. In this podcast I suggest some things you can do and that others have done through the years to promote kindness and appreciative care for chickens. Oh, by the way, the entire month of May is International Respect for Chickens Month, so there’s plenty of time to do your Respect for Chickens project in May. Whatever you do, please share your project with us so that we may share it with others and add it permanently to our International Respect for Chickens Day webpage. And now, tune in!
