On Pasture

The chicks have moved to pasture (or at least the backyard, which is pretty much pasture to these small fries).
Nathaniel and Elijah built them a little mobile coop, and we have it in the third yard, where there is lots of vegetation.  We can move it around every couple of days, so they get fresh greens.

They didn't like being moved, but they were quickly and happily exploring their new space and eating the fresh greens.  We've been tossing clover and such to them in their pen in the garage for about a week, and they gobble it all up.  Now they can enjoy getting their own.  All 22 are very healthy and active.  They are now almost 6 weeks old.
