This is inexcusable because I know that there are huge crowds of our fans out there in different countries, planets and galaxies, and they all anxiously wait for the latest news from the farm.
The universal law (the one that rules the universe) says that if you wait for something long enough, you deserve to get it. (※ The universal law doesn't guarantee you actually get anything. It just says you deserve it.)
So here are the news of the month for our deserving intergalactic fans.
1. Visitors
Third graders at the Tsukuba International School are learning about renewable energy, so they dropped by to see how it works on our farm. We talked about: how the solar panels work; how the electricity is made and where it goes; why solar sharing is such a smart design; why our chickens are so special; why there are chickens strolling outside of the farm; and other exciting topics.

| First we talked in the back of the farm (no solar panels in sight). Then we moved to the chickens' area. |
Chickens and goats did their best to entertain the guests :D
2. Natchan has a balloon belly
Natchan has a belly of impressive proportions. The important question is: Will they be twins or triplets?
 |
| Please, be it just twins! |
 |
| Two is enough, please! |
3. Number of free spirits on the farm is increasing
More and more chickens learn how to fly over the fence. My verbal warnings are useless.
Last Saturday I went to the farm in the morning to serve chickens their breakfast, and I was welcomed not by one, but by 3 (three) free-spirited border crossers. (One of them was goat.) (Kuri-chan.)
Basically there is a chicken or two strolling around near the road or in the rice field at any time of the day. I just really hope the passers-by don't hate us (I think that some do.)
That's was the news of the month.
I will conclude with a moving picture: chickens in the wind with unbuttoned coats.
