I definately have some chickens that are "special". They have had access to all 8 gardens around their coop until this week or so, I have been blocking off gardens as I start to plant some. 7 of the gardens have been basically barren of vegetation, but one is lush and green w/ fall greens and roots that didn't do well but still have lots of leaves and the turnips all blooming bright yellow everywhere anyway basically a chickens dream, but I am having to lock off the barren gardens to force them into the green lush one.
The east garden of each coop I've designated as the summer run, it will be the most shaded and I've got plans for adding to the natural shade. I have been working on the prep work to those two gardens, and blocking the majority of the gardens off from the chickens all day.
We are changing where the chickens come and go so we can have an automatic coop door, this meant moving part of a fence and a T post, I am here to tell you when you plant a T post make sure you aren't going to want to move it!!!!!! Digging through sand stone in very tight quarters, it took nearly 1.5 hrs just to move that one post.
The Welsummers and the Brown Leghorns are two egg-breed chicks that look very similar, but the BL lay white eggs not brown!
