In a confessional, Haack explains, “In Tennessee, our chickens are our pets. I want to bring them inside and cuddle with them on the couch. But we can’t do that until we give them a bath.”
She continues to say that the chickens must be thoroughly washed and blow dried before they can roam the house.
Hall walks in on Haack, Taylor and Brayden as they are giving the chickens a cleaning in the bathroom. “I’m kinda speechless,” he says as he enters the room. “I shouldn’t be at this point, but…”
