Shady chickens
We moved the little chickens into the treeline. Now they are always the "little chickens", because they are. We are still looking and hoping for big chickens.
They are still in the first, big coop, but we moved them to the edge of the field to give them more shade. It's working. They are spending more of the day outside.
Immediately, they started ranging farther from the coop. It was funny for me to walk down the path towards them with some scraps and see the rooster striding purposefully up the path towards me, before he saw me and beat a retreat.
Now we are done with the garden so we don't have their entertainment there.
They must be hot in their fluffy fur coats. And hats. And sweatpants.
