As I watch my chickens come out

[pjomega]

Every morning, cooing and squawking happily, I find myself wondering what goes through their minds. Is every morning like a brand new experience? Are they thrilled when it is nice out, as opposed to the cold weather we had yesterday. Do they remember how crappy it's been thus winter? Are they standing in the coop just waiting for the door to open so they can get their day started? Ahh, the thoughts of a chicken ownet

I wonder the same thing often! I have a hard time keeping them inside the run sometimes too.. The top is uncovered, so sometimes, when it's just too nice, I'll get a couple who will hop the run! I love how they are just so happy and cluck around like there is nothing better.

When I first got mine, i kept them in a nice little run, but then they would jump on top of the coop, then hop over the fence... I finally just gave in and now they have access to my whole backyard.

Ours have the run of our whole yard too. Their favorite place to stand is on the top step of the pool............

Care to go swimming, anyone?

How cute! Mine will play on and under an old picnic table.
