We've started letting the chickens out in the afternoon, while I am working in the yard and can keep an eye on them (and on Frankie). The grass is taller than the chickens, but I know they will soon eat it down to bare dirt. Looks like I have at least one rooster (a Welsummer with the red comb/wattles in picture 1 and 3). All the rest appear to be pullets at this point, but they are still young so who knows. Frankie (the dog in picture 2) is so far mesmorized by them, spends her entire time outdoors staring at the birds through the fence. I bring her inside with me if I am not outside to monitor her behavior. Hoping as they get bigger her interest will wan. We shall see.
I want to live in a world where the chicken can cross the road without its motives being questioned.
