Chicken Poop

Traci asked the question about whether the chickens poop in the yard or not. Yes, when they are free, they do poop in the yard. :) Which is why they aren't free much. We plan to build a little "chicken run" for them, a little enclosed side yard to their hen house with their own private entrance, but that got side tracked a bit with the unexpected pregnancy stuff. So, for now they pretty much stay in the hen house all the time [which is OK from what I've read because it is plenty big enough for 5 chickens to hang out in]. We let them out the other day just because I wanted them to get some exercise.

But yeah, chickens pretty much poop wherever they are. It is good for the grass, but not good for barefoot kids. LOL!
