When my chicks were small I put them in that little wire cage so they could be on grass during the day, My yard still hasn't recovered. They ate every single bit of grass. Since we cleaned my back flowerbed my girls have not been on the grass. <br />I have been taking a bucket and picking chick weed that is coming up but so is the nettle with it too. I have also been harvesting dandelions too they seem to really like that. <br />I am getting one egg every other day. My hens look beautiful though. I will be glad when they go back to work. <br />I think really I love days when I juggle chickens the best. I think it looks like a lot of fun.

The vision of you both chasing chickens around in circles, though, is a bit more realistic... and definitely the way I would farm. :-P I am sure they'll be happy eventually!Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05525118565790143413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1749684475391974742.post-42931420251948519862013-01-10T07:12:26.625-05:002013-01-10T07:12:26.625-05:00Hee*hee***

They in turn will fertilize the pasture with their rich compost to give you more grass next year. You are so kind to your chickens. <br /> JBJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423754263165266554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1749684475391974742.post-57031949989917483772013-01-09T16:29:00.844-05:002013-01-09T16:29:00.844-05:00Mary Ann...We're in the middle of a rather mil...Mary Ann...We're in the middle of a rather mild snap right now.

We would put our chickens in a large indoor outdoor coop to let the grass and weeds grow again over the winter months , they were grain and scrap fed then come spring we released them in the big chicken pen were they could eat all the green grass and bugs they wanted ! Hope they give you eggs soon .

I learned a trick long ago about using a huge oversize fish net to catch the chickens and gently move them to where I wanted them worked every time and they did not seem to mind it at all.
