Oh Chicken Feathers!

Since we live in the city limits, and do not have a large enough lot to legally keep chickens, all of our chickens live in cages in the garage and in huge plastic tubs in my sewing room.  We are hoping to have their coop and run built out at our new farm/acreage in the next few weeks.

Yesterday, we decided to let the oldest chickens “free range” in our backyard.  It was total success. No crowing at all! WHEW!  Most of them wanted to stay close in human contact and hung around on the porch.  We’re planning on doing this every afternoon for them, and maybe eventually, they will enjoy getting off the concrete and scratching around in the yard.

I’ll get some photos posted soon.
