The joy it brings me to have my chickens outside again during the day can't be understated.
Part of me wants to rant about shed of 40,000 birds being the reason we have to have these restrictions. But to be honest I'm just happy they can all be out and about, eating a more natural diet and enjoying themselves.
I think the first day they were out I've never heard them being noisier! And they went everywhere, not sticking by their pens like I thought they would. Already had to tell two off that were in my workshop!
I know there is a far greater chance of predators, but I do just love having them outside.
Who else loves seeing their chickens free range?
