Give Me Land, Lots of Land...

Despite the PicknChickn Application's description of the Cornish as lazy, my dark Cornish seem quite willing and excited to explore for food. True, they do not tolerate mid-day heat very well and tend to find a shady spot to sit, but when they do forage about, they roam fairly far. Luckily the neighbor has not complained and having the fresh manure near the barn scratched through is good.



Regalo and Louis appreciate the chickens for a couple of reasons. Their favorite thing about the pastured chickens seems to be the corn/oat mix left behind the hoop house. Decreased flies are their other favorite aspect of sharing the pasture with chickens, though I cannot say the horses necessarily realize the correlation. Nonetheless, I no longer think Louis needs that $80 Baker fly sheet.
