Hi there! Yes my fiance and I enjoy them very much! Matter of fact, for our cheap date nights (since we are wedding planning and cutting back a lot) we grab a bottle of wine, and bring our fold out chairs to the chicken run about an hr before dark, and just watch the chickens!
Great story. I love it. We too have chicks right now and boy don't they grow fast?! Ours haven't had much outdoor time, too cold in Hernando County. So glad you're enjoying them. Just wait though, date night will get better when they're older.
In regards to the apple trick, I like that idea. Somebody told me to try a cabbage and our girls hated it. The apple's such a good idea!
