Holiday Hens on the Prowl

It's hard to know what to get chickens for the holidays. They get treats regularly. They don't care if I redecorate their huts. And they can't play video games. 

The main thing they covet is freedom! 

So, out they come while I wander and dither with things outside since they get a little too focused on yummy grubs and aren't great at keeping an eye out for danger, so I am that eye.

Soon it will be a new year and hopefully it will bring some snow to shield the ground from frigid temps.

Even so, the hens are still laying and the microgreens are still growing, plants and animals don't take a day off or understand holidays. Stop by tomorrow from 12-1230 in Libby at Fireman's Park to pick some up!

A day out on the pasture! It's a little damp, a little chilly, but there is still green grass!

The best place for the hens to find fresh grass is the past footprints of their own huts!

The hardest part about getting good pictures of the hens in that they know that I equate food, so the closer I get the more they all come running for handfed yummies!

Santa always brings me tools and equipment. The latest addition is a new portable work table with lots of cool features! As you get older, Santa gets more and more practical. #adulting

Hella also enjoys her outings, even if she tolerates the damp even less than the chickens and follows me back inside as soon as possible.
