Holy Cow Chickens!

The meat chicks have been out on pasture for a week now. They are growing at a fantastic rate. They are into the daily move and seem to enjoy the grass very much!

The Barred Rock chicks are just lovely little birds now. They are settling in the routine as well.

The other evening I pulled into the farm driveway and saw several of the meat birds out. Oh no! At first I thought that something had attacked the coop so it was a relief to see that had not happened. Well, they had snuck out under a high spot in the coop was all. Russ was working so I had to wrangle 9 chicks back into the coop. I plugged the escape hole and all was fine once more!
