hi!
last summer, i would let my chickens roam the back yard, but due to several things that happened as a result, this batch is living in a fenced in area by our house..its got a big maple tree over it, which makes it shady, but there is no grass..its all dirt..can they be happy? i feel so guilty because i know they love the grass and all, but this is for their own safety. anything i can do to make them feel better?
