The chickens are officially free roaming! We let them out on Saturday and I recorded their first foray out into the world.
They did all eventually come out and they stuck together the entire two hours they were out.
I've been giving them a daily treat of scratch in the late afternoon. They know the sound the bag makes and it was quite easy to get them all back in the coop just by crinkling the bag a little bit. They came running.
And the Belle/Chicken meeting went fine (I wish I had captured that on video – it was pretty funny). Belle and one of the girls just went nose to nose and then Belle flopped on the ground and rolled over and the chicken wandered off. Not nearly as dramatic as we were expecting.
Aah…that was so neat to watch. Quite a big deal for them chicks! Now they probably can’t wait to get out, huh? Thanks for sharing.
Ooh I was wondering about Ms Belle. Glad she’s a vegetarian! Whew!
ok the funniest part of this? I had another website (http://kissesfromkatie.blogspot.com/) open when I turned this on and it has music and I’m all hmmm interesting choice of music Andrea picked for her chickens’ first foray…I had no idea she was a born again Christian…
