The amazing hardworking chickens

1. This barn actually sits on a concrete pad but it sure is hard to tell because the pad is almost hidden behind many-many years of thatch accumulation. It is undisturbed when I cut the grass (too close th the barn) or when our sheep do their thing (the don't care for grass that's been dead for many years). So, there is like a mega-city of various bags, roaches, spiders and so on in that thatch. I mean - there was, until I unleashed on it hordes of my terrible minions ... err, I mean until we moved the chicken coop next to the barn a few days ago. No more thatch, no more mega-city and sure enough, not a single bug anywhere near that. That's what it looks like now:

See? There is a concrete pad. I always believed there is.








2. One more truckload of hay from WH - it was wet and went straight to the bedding . Originally I planned to cut North Meadow too but we have more than enough already. No more hay this year.
