That is THE most lovely dwelling! I let my 4 hens out last summer in my yard, and they didn't do much damage to all our gardens. Some stuff did get wrecked, but I really didn't mind. It was more fun to watch the girls do their thing! Your yard is lovely! Congratulations on your new hobby! They really are my favorite pet. And that first egg is a wonderful feeling....(actually, every egg is a wonderful feeling!)
Also, welcome to BYC! Hope you have many happy years with your ladies, and that they stay strong and healthy!
