Brian Small#Silky chicks enjoying the newly opened underbrush. #JoelSalatin writes about how the birds should sound happy. And #AndrweLawler's book #whydidthechickencrosstheworld has me thinking this is the sort of environment chickens evolved in, the sort of place where they feel ready to grow towards being their most appropriate selves.. #backyardchickens , if more people cared for them it would be great for local #resilience, I imagine.
I forgot to add the two wider views of the newly cleared underbrush beneath the canopy..
Annathey are growing
@betazoid , Yes, they are growing fast. The four chicks in the batch just before this one are as big as the hens already. Evenutally we will have to start giving roosters away. A lot of people want to eat them, but I may have found someone with a lot of hens that need company. The only problem is nobody else spoils them the way we do with the same amounts and variety of food.
