Did you get them all!!

Have you ever seen 200 chickens truly free ranging on a farm? It's a beautiful thing!! We do not give them access to everything everyday, but today was a day  to let all the chickens out to get some fresh grass (all the grass in their pin has gone dormant already) and to help clean up after all the larger animals! They were some happy chickens! Why do we do this? We have noticed a huge difference in the egg quality, both in looks and taste. Plus it helps clean up the barnyard and fertilize everything more evenly for the coming winter. It's such a joy to have chickens everywhere! The fun part of this is when milking time comes around about dark, all the chickens have to get back to their roost so they won't become some predators meal! Chickens are definitely not the brightest animals so they sometimes need a little help, what a sight to see all of us "rounding up" chickens at night, I bet the cows are laughing at us! Anyway, when we say that our eggs are "free range" and "antibiotic free", we really mean it,  unlike.......
