Replacement chickens have been brought in from last week's fiasco oversight . I had fallen asleep.....and did not close the chicken yard door that is required each end of the day.
Our chickens free range every afternoon.....then return to their yard by themselves right before sunset. Sorta cool if you think about it. Not cool when sunrise comes about ...and they run out to free range. The dogs just love it in the mornings....when I forget to close that yard door.
I counted eighteen missing.....yet no "bodies" in the fields. One by one ....over the next four hours....all but two returned. Disturb from having five wild beasts chasing them...they dont lay eggs for a few days to a few weeks. Up top of that...cold weather hit again, and the "ladies" dont like laying in the cold either.
All this trouble ....just for scrambled eggs!
