Anyway, if you read marriage certificates from church records, a full 85% of first marriages for young women were around 18-19 years old. The rest skewed higher, into the early twenties, with only a few being below that age and only one in a thousand was younger than 16. 

The age of puberty has declined over the centuries as girls get better nutrition, as well, so throughout the middle ages the age at which a girl could expect her first period was around 16, where modern girls often get it much younger. 

The idea that women in earlier ages were married and mothers in their early teens is a myth. Marriages of children were usually only between noble families, and made for political reasons, or creepy old bastards who wanted a child-wife and could get away with it because they were rich and powerful. They often would point to the fact that the Roman elite did the same thing as justification. The Romans, of course, would point to the Greeks doing the same thing as justification, the Greeks pointed at the Assyrians, and so on back through the ages. 

It was considered disgusting by normal people then and still is. 

This myth is still brought out and touted by sick fuckers. Know it for what it is; a falsehood.

wag their tails (yes!!! like dogs!!!! they do it when they are exited or happy)

love eating treats and love whenever you pretend to peck things

get very attached to certain ppl, will think ur their mom

run around like dinosaurs??????? i don’t know if this is just my chickens but they are very dramatic when they run??

make VERY weird noises,,, like honking, purring, clucking, and peeping (soft peeping, they still think they are baby chicks)

hi there! this is your secret santa stopping by to say hello and hoping that tonight is less painful that i've imagined. i finally have time to start writing your present (forgive me!) and i was wondering if you wanted something more canon or an au?

Hi Secret Santa, right now I am in the gruelling midst of end-of-term papers so I probably won't be watching the episode till Thursday (gasp!) And don't worry that you've started now; I haven't even started for my person yet (waiting for inspiration...). If you have an AU idea that you're really excited about I would say go for it, but I'm just as happy to receive canon fic (I'm an easy-going kind of gal, I'll be thrilled with whatever you create)

I wanted a rainbow…even if it was only for a few minutes.
