I hope your chicks get home safe

Welcome to BYC

Thanks! I think I should be telling you welcome to BYC! Welcome!

We've had such a busy weekend and accomplished so much. Daughter and sil came down to help us in the yard. We are so blessed.

Finally strung more fishing line and added reflective tape. I hope it keeps the Hawks out.

The girls were so excited to be back in their free range pen.

I used the little battery powered rototiller that my fil gave to us and worked up the soil in the enclosed pen.

It's been hard taking pictures of them being locked up. I've felt so sad for them. Hopefully they will be able to keep free ranging.

So far the girls seem to be undisturbed by any predators. Hopefully it stays that way.

Thanks mom, we prefer our water on the ground!

What is this sorcery? Several of them ran out of the pen when I dumped these clippings... bunch of Ninny's...lol

Oh, it doesn't eat us, we eat it.

Chickens are funny when they see something "different"...looks like they ended up enjoying the scary green stuff

They did enjoy it. The funny thing is, I've given them clippings before. But, that was last year and if I remember correctly it was the same reaction and result...Lol
