Containing Chickens

Herb ordered me some solar electric poultry netting to fence in my chickens. I can move it as needed to get them to fresh grass. I do miss having them loose, though. My backyard, where they used to hang out the most, seems desolate. The good thing is that we are no longer hunting eggs. I am also freed from hosing the sidewalk, and the cats can have their food all to themselves.

The chickens are using the nesting box at last. A few weeks ago, I was ready to give up on it. One of my big Aracaunas had finally gone in there. . .to die.The solar panel.

Setting up the second roll of netting. Once I saw it all set up, I realized I could have done with one. The two are connected into a big rectangle right now. I may separate them and make two smaller pens. Then I would get something else to put in one of them, maybe some turkeys or geese.

Driving the flock to their new location.
