Thank you all, we love our girls so we are always back in the yard with them. they go where they want, and there favorite places are under my hedge of lilac's. the dirt is black, rich and they catch bugs and roll around in it . they also have a sand box we lay out and its so funny to see them roll in it. but mostly there out roaming around and eating off our hands. yesterday was pancakes, fruit and seed, grapes and watermelon. Today will be yougert and oatmeal.
Our chickens love us out there and love to try to get on our laps LOL. Im glad Im doing the right things, free ranging and making them happy. they give me good food, I give them a wonderful life. smile
