Benefits of a chicken tractor

The yard before the chickens




The yard after two days



This is the benefit of the chicken tractor and hopefully we can keep pulling it around our acerage to keep it clear...still a few weeks away from eggs.

Growing and mowing

Our chickens are now in the pasture and are really starting to fill out. They did suffer through their first tornadic storm, including hail. Amanda got the children into the storm shelter ('fraidy hole) but she decided not to try and get the chickens, I don't know that I fully supported that choice. But they all seemed to make it through ok. I think we are about 8 weeks away from eggs, we will see.
