Back in biz - seems all hens are laying again. I am also letting them free range almost every day for at least a half a day - haven't planted any seeds yet and I don't mind them scratching around the flower beds. The only plant they have really gone after is the comfrey and I don't think it is possible to kill that. They also seem to like early daylily shoots, and I may have to fashion some temporary wire cages until they get enough bulk to withstand the pecking. A couple hens have figured out how to fly/flop in/out of the yard but so far the rest are rather clueless. Guess it's time to trim feathers again, Gary is not too keen on their toileting habits, especially on the sidewalks and porches.
