Land Reclamation Project

Over the years I allowed the brush pile to grow and get out of control. It took over portions of the side yard that previously had grass present. Last summer I made a promise to Mrs BY Bob to reclaim that land. In the fall I went on a burning binge and shrunk the brush pile significantly.

Yesterday I set about reclaiming the first strip of grass. Of course as I prepared the ground to accept the seeds, the ladies wanted in. There were some depressions in the yard made by who knows what so I dug up an area and then allowed the ladies to smooth out out for me (I love free labor) as I put up my tribe access denier (temporary fence).

I left a passage for them on the back side of the fencing between it and the brush pile for the ladies to get to the apple trees while remaining under cover. So far they have respected the fence.

Did I make a mistake?

What is wrong with me? I draw it out so long.

Well, they are in the big coop in their own section for a long time.. so there’s lots of time for everyone to get used to them being around... and I also think it goes easier the more times you do it and the more hens you have...
