Fly high and free, lovely, beautiful Grandma!

Today is their first day in there. We have the fence coming out on the ground about 16-20 inches on all sides and it's pulled really tight. We'll use landscaping staples to tack it down if necessary.

They're liking it though!

I love watching them do chicken things!

Ground stapling sounds like a good security measure for keeping things out as well. My green netting sagged/stretched misshapen in our brutal SoCalif sun Good thing it was only temporary. Our permanent wire deer fencing is sturdier but still bends too easily.

Deer fencing separating the garden beds from the chicken yard.

Ugh. I shook myself out of my laziness and did some work in the yard. Mainly around improving the chicken environment.
The result of this? I have blood running down my arms (mine not chicken blood) and I am covered in ticks.

Thank you all for the messages. I'm trying to stop crying but it's hard when I've had something memorable for so long. I have throbbing headache and slightly nauseous from crying too much. I'll continue to read messages but I might not respond until tomorrow. Once again, thank you all.

I got a new pair of "house shoes" today. Skechers "hands free" slip ons. I have a pair of house shoes, but I have to straighten the thing behind the heel every time I put them on. These hands free shoes were designed for just my issue!

Oh, and I had to buy men's size 10. Yeah, I have BIG feet!
