Gorgeous Greens

My chickens, the ones that are incarcerated in the chicken room/run that is, are thrilled that I'm pulling weeds.  I've been standing up some of the dinosaur weeds in the run for them to eat.  My chickens are not laying like they should.  I think they are unhappy that I'm not spoiling them like I used to. When my farmer's market neighbor starts bringing in giant bins of cabbages I'll bring a few home for the chickens.  For now they'll have to be happy with corn husks and weeds.

Yes, the chickens have a dog-loo outside. They can go up a ladder into a room in the barn. Chickens love to dig in the dirt and roll in it - one way they deal with mites in their feathers.
