  Hey everybody, welcome to the good morning from the Chicken
• 0:04
  Coop podcast. My name is Kim Johnson and I am
• 0:07
  a mastermindset, coach, creative strategist, and also happen to
• 0:10
  be a farmer. This is my chicken coop and I
• 0:12
  come out here every day to record a podcast to teach
• 0:16
  distinctions, possibilities, new ways of thinking, and just bring
• 0:20
  some joy into the world. So welcome to the coop and let's
• 0:23
  start your day off in a fantastic way.
• 0:27
  Hey everybody, good morning. So this morning I'm out here
• 0:32
  with the girls, and every time I come out it's the same routine.
• 0:36
  I make them a breakfast platter. It has varieties of vegetables
• 0:40
  and berries on it. And you know, whatever other
• 0:43
  treats I might have, leftovers in the refrigerator that we
• 0:47
  don't want to eat, I make sure nothing goes to waste.
• 0:49
  And it all comes to the chickens and they look forward to these
• 0:52
  breakfast platters every day. And it really makes me be super
• 0:56
  disciplined with, you know, giving them those because they
• 0:59
  look forward to it. And that's just how my brain
• 1:02
  works. But that's not the point of the
• 1:03
  story today. The point of the story is I come
• 1:05
  out and I believe in having eyes on things every day.
• 1:09
  I am not one of these people that has deep litter in their in
• 1:13
  their coop so that you, you know, basically only change it
• 1:15
  twice a year. I personally think that's
• 1:18
  disgusting and I could never do it.
• 1:20
  If you've ever smelled the chicken coop, you just don't
• 1:23
  ever want to do things that are going to cause odor or dampness
• 1:27
  or any fact for invasion of bugs.
• 1:31
  So one of my main things being out here is I have eyes on
• 1:36
  things. I can see things so this morning
• 1:38
  and they have hay under their roofs and you know, it's it's AI
• 1:42
  have a very nice setup and I did that on purpose.
• 1:45
  It's not very she she in the sense like I don't have a
• 1:47
  chandelier like some people do because you know, the dust would
• 1:50
  drive me crazy, but have a very nice setup.
• 1:54
  I come out and I flip the hay every day.
• 1:57
  And the reason I do that is because I want to see if there's
• 2:00
  anything in the hay that I need to see.
• 2:03
  And it also flips the chicken poop that's sitting on top of
• 2:06
  the hay over and it rotates it so it stops flies.
• 2:10
  I can then sprinkle on some first lime, which is a product
• 2:13
  for gardening and coops and other things that keeps pest
• 2:18
  away. It's a really brilliant product
• 2:20
  with a strap tank product, super cool.
• 2:22
  Cool. And I will sprinkle some of that
• 2:24
  on it. And no, I'm not getting an
• 2:25
  endorsement from them. I'm just saying it because it's
• 2:27
  super cool and if you've never used it, you should use it.
• 2:30
  And it works around your garden as well.
• 2:32
  So I'm out here and I'm getting ready to, you know, start the
• 2:36
  flipping process. I do the right side and then I
• 2:38
  do go to do the left side and I see that there's an egg.
• 2:41
  Someone laid an egg in the hay instead of the lay boxes, which
• 2:45
  sometimes happens. They just decide to randomly lay
• 2:48
  an egg somewhere. And I'm like, okay, you know,
• 2:51
  let me bend down to pick it up. And when I bend down to pick up
• 2:53
  the egg, there's still like, there's always my late crew.
• 2:57
  My late crew leaves. Like you can hear it's pretty
• 2:59
  quiet in here right now because my early crew has already had
• 3:02
  their snacks and they're, you know, outside busy.
• 3:06
  And I've got my late crew in here.
• 3:08
  And so there's a couple of girls, only a couple lay this
• 3:11
  early in the morning and the rest of them are off
• 3:12
  adventuring. And I go to, you know, pick up
• 3:17
  the egg and a couple of the late crew is still up in their roost,
• 3:20
  which I am below. And one of them poops on man's
• 3:24
  shoulder and I'm like, I feel it.
• 3:27
  And it immediately soaks, right? I'm going to cotton like
• 3:30
  sweatshirt on and it immediately soaks into it.
• 3:33
  And I'm like, unbelievable. I look up and I'm like, I, you
• 3:38
  couldn't wait 2 seconds to poop. I, I, you had to poop on me.
• 3:41
  And I'm like having this reaction And I start laughing
• 3:45
  immediately because she's looking at me like, of course it
• 3:48
  was a game for her. And whether she was thinking
• 3:51
  that or not, that's what I made out of it.
• 3:53
  And then I started laughing because I'm like, this is really
• 3:56
  funny because it's what we make it.
• 4:00
  And I have heard a million times that if a chicken poops on you,
• 4:03
  it's good luck. Now this is, and I've also said
• 4:06
  a million times, well, that's because the person that got
• 4:08
  pooped on is choosing to believe that it's good luck because they
• 4:11
  don't want to believe it's bad luck.
• 4:13
  It just like rain on your wedding day, right?
• 4:15
  Some people say if it rains on your wedding day, it's a it's a
• 4:18
  wonderful thing. And other people say if it rains
• 4:20
  on your wedding day, it's bad luck.
• 4:22
  It's all what you make it. It's all the psychology around
• 4:25
  it. So I looked up at her and I was
• 4:27
  like, you know what? OK, so that means I need to play
• 4:30
  the lottery because clearly you just bestowed good luck on me.
• 4:34
  And I like made that declaration.
• 4:37
  And it made me stop and think about how, wow, whatever we
• 4:40
  believe, we believe. Like we believe it, we believe
• 4:45
  it. We we put it in, we embody it.
• 4:47
  So the thought about this, why I'm bringing this up is if you
• 4:52
  have, you know, something happened to you, like a chicken
• 4:55
  poops on you, a bird poops on you, it's pouring, something
• 4:58
  goes off, why not choose to believe it's something
• 5:00
  different? I mean, is it, is it being
• 5:03
  ridiculous to say I want to bring good things to myself by
• 5:06
  focusing on good things? No, it's not ridiculous at all.
• 5:09
  But we have to believe it in order to make it happen.
• 5:12
  So I'm just going to throw that out there today.
• 5:15
  I'm believing that the chicken pooping on me was an excellent
• 5:19
  stroke of luck and that there are other things that are going
• 5:21
  to be bestowed upon me because of the poop of the chicken that
• 5:26
  came up. So I hope that you guys have
• 5:29
  that same thing happened to you. I hope that that same thing
• 5:33
  happens to you, and that you can, whatever that your version
• 5:37
  of chicken poop is, and that you can bestow upon it the belief
• 5:41
  that it happened for a greater good, greater reason, something
• 5:44
  wonderful, and make it an outstanding rest of the holiday
• 5:49
  weekend. And I will see you tomorrow.
• 5:51
  Bye.
