Wow!
This morning I thought I'd give the girls a treat, so I went to the backyard and dug up a chunk about 6" deep, 10" long, and 6" wide.
Put it in their pen and ...swarm! You'd think I dropped a ton of krugerants in the middle of the road.
Those girls were all over it.
Checked back on them an hour later....gone. I mean, nothing left but a tiny wad of roots.
I think they liked it. 
Here's the pen in the sunroom--note dust layer 
And yes, it's finally green outdoors...the girls will be moving out to their coop this week! 
And here's a shot of all of them taking a break (it was a busy hour! 
) (From L to R, that's Lucy's tailfeathers 
, Cleo, Buffy, Lois, Goldie, Myrtle, and the best chicken mom, Millie)
In the big coop: Cleo EE, Brownie SS, Barbie BR, Coco CW, Wynona GLW, Lacey SLW, Sophia GC, Heidi GL, Myrtle PR, Bernadette D, Cookie CM, Buffy & Goldie BO
In the little coop: Nora SLW, Pee-Wee BR, Mulan RP, Rouge RP, B1 BO, and the Raptors x3 EEs.
