Some of them we offer for free and are very clear on their age. Some get eaten. And a select few get to retire here and spend the rest of their days bossing the younger ladies around.
No, it's never easy. She was ready to go though, she said it was her time.

...with it. As soon as we turned on the sprinkler for the afternoon, they would all run to stand in it.
We also appear to have another cat. Not because I want another cat, but because he seems to want us. *sigh* I can't turn him away so it looks like I will be hauling a cat in to be neutered...
Mine are doing great it in. We did extend it to make it bigger. I wish I could have a huge area for them, but we're in town so there is only so much space for chickens, geese, dogs, garden, and space for children to play.

Sounds like y'all have been busy!
We've been working on getting the goose house up. For now they go into a stall in our garden shed at night. We picked about 50 lbs of sandhill plums. Already have ten jars of jelly and four and half gallons of juice left over. We've ran more cannerfuls of...

Danz, hopefully your chickens find their way through the gate eventually.
