Hallerlake - How much space do you have for 15 chickens?

I have a shy half acre. I have two 7' X 12' enclosures with a coop inside, one for the Spitz and one for the Brabanters.

and an A- frame tractor for my original four girls.

How is there still so much grass in that bigger enclosure? Do you move it? Or was the picture taken when you first set it up? And do you let the chickens out much?

Our raspberries have finally picked up! I very much need to go pick again today. I missed the last two days and I find the more you pick, the more come in.

We wash them, then dry them, then place them in a single layer on a cookie sheet for freezing. Then spatula them off into a gallon size ziplock. That way they are loose and you can just grab a handful to add to your cereal or smoothie. We have one almost full ziplock from our first picking earlier this week. We've been eating the strawberries faster than we can get them in the freezer. I'm anxious for the sun to come back and ripen my blueberries. I have 18 overloaded bushes and planted 8 more early this spring.

My rasberries are SOUR as heck this year. Wonder why...any clues anybody? CL?

That was when I first set it up. I let them out to free range for a few hours every day.

No sun?

I'm allowed 8 under the new rules, unless I claim to be an urban farm, then I can have more.

Ease up on the boyz! It's their job to let everyone know when "danger" is nearby.

I have dogs for that, but the dogs decided to be quiet today.
