all the chickens are doing great with their new found freedom. they go back to their own coops at night even though there are 4 places for them to go to. stink is down, bugs are down, grass is down. and best of all, the work load and feed consumtion is down. .so basically is all on a up swing LOL no known losses. Frosty is so not house broke. i have been trying a few different things, ie: taking her mess outside and showing her where to put it right down to showing her how its done. no clue yet. i will start on the tether method soon but that is a big ol pain in the chicken foot. i hope it dont come to that. for those that dont know, its just keeping on leash with you 24/7 as soon as she starts sniffing its out the door . but if you want shower ect... she comes with.
