Chickens New Pen

So, since the girls decided life was more fun on the other side of the fence, we moved their pen. The coop is still a moveable tractor, we just arent moving it while its so wet. We had it up against the house for the winter months to keep them out of too many drafts and so we could hook up supplemental heat when needed. So, we put hardware cloth along the fence and across to the front of the house and opened up the backyard to them. They are very happy with access to the backyard and are now digging up the compost which should help get it going. This means Marley is now using the front yard primarily for pottying. We have to do poop patrol before playing, but Lilah loves picking it up LOL.
