And here I am, lecturing the dogs on the perils of chicken-hassling (they're actually very good about not bothering them). My not-terribly-willing volunteer, Neil the Ameraucana hen, was nabbed cavorting throughout the haymow. Definitely off-limits to chickens, as the cows really don't appreciate poop on their hay. We also try not to do much gratuitous chicken-chasing (well, actually I think it's fun, but the hens don't) but it's a good idea to periodically give them a once-over for health issues. Everyone seems ultra-healthy so far, I'm thinking due to being able to free range for bugs and greens, and dust bathe at will.Wednesday, June 20, 2007
