Chicken Run--Milagro style

We fed the chickens the other day. I mean we feed them every day of course, different treats depending on what we had on hand, which given that we just celebrated Halloween was .....pumpkin.



Since the chickens can't open up something like a pumpkin on there own, we've got to give them a hand. And there is no better way to do this than hurling the fruit down on the step just outside their enclosure. That's one way to "squash" it.

We let them out to clean up the mess and that was all they needed.



Here a couple of the girls out kicking and scratching up the back yard.



Actually I planted a lot of things specifically for the hens.



But not this purple basil or.....



or this French Sorrell.


Actually, the girls really wanted back into their run, but we were out running errands so they were out for much of the day.

Luckily the Cooper's hawks and feral dogs had the day off.
