Raising chickens is not easy, and as you rightly say, you need space and time to take care of them. I'm sorry your husband's venture didn't work out.
I hope Toribio's new home is more comfortable and that he's treated as well as you have been.
I have to admit, I'm from Pesgua. It's the first time I've seen them. I didn't know they existed.
I understand why your father didn't like your neighbor's plant because it stained the sidewalk. Near my house, there's a mulberry tree that also stains the sidewalk, and the neighbors complain about it; besides, since it's sweet, it attracts wasps.
Thank you so much for sharing all this information and your experience.
Have a wonderful weekend.
