Green Acres!

So, last night, Jeremy moved the chicken coop that our meat chickens stay in.  We got our electro-netting fence up last night also.  However, we haven't electrified yet...it should be interesting to see them try to stick there heads through it once it is though. ;)  I am sorry, that sounded a little evil. 

On another note, they now have plenty of green to roam about and forage on.   I know it makes Jeremy and I both feel better.  It will be so much healthier for them to have a larger area to wander about.  This larger group will only be around until May 14th, then they're off to freezerland! YUMMY!  Then in four more weeks, we will have another 45 to send off, and so on and so on!

At some point we will be getting our Heritage Turkeys...I can't wait.  It will be something new and exciting to watch.  It also makes me excited for Thanksgiving...for the desserts of course. ;)  But before that happens we need to get that all set up.  The turkey will also have them on pasture. 

Green Acres is the place to be, farm livin' is the life for me...lalalalalalalala, sorry this song just came to mind!
