The Chickens are out on Pasture

Monday, November 30, 2020
Hello friends,
I hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful. We had a great time with the family and the weather held out for outdoor activities as well. Of course, my grandsons are just the best! Xavier is such a smiley baby, and Carl is talking more and more, which can be a hoot. They even went out to the pond on Friday and caught some fish. I was amazed that they would be biting but they were. Tonight is the turkey frame soup, and the aroma is filling the house once again!
The chickens are out on the pasture! We put them in the egg mobile on Saturday night, then moved them out into lane 5, and today we opened their little door. I wasn’t sure if any of them would be brave enough to venture out today, so we left their food and water inside. Sure enough, as dusk approached, we counted about a dozen of them were outside the house, not sure how to get back in. Because of the huge full moon, we could easily find them under the grain bin and on the axles, and we tucked them back inside. It usually takes a few days before they get the hang of going in and out of that little door, but it is a safe way of keeping chickens….
