Freedom!

O.K.  I just had to show off my lavender.  It has never been
happier.  Nor have the chickens. We have been letting the
chickens out in the yard around dusk to eat bugs. Notice the
chicken in flight.

Since the chicken coop's completion, we have been busy fine tuning their feeding and watering stations.  We did have two roosters after all.  They were relocated today.  Our good neighbors, Debi and Charles, came over this morning and took them away.  Debi was fearless and captured both roosters.  One of them put up a fight and attacked her wrist and hand.  She had what she called a surface scratch, but her wrist was bright red with blood and had to be cleansed immediately.  She was on her way home to apply comfrey to her wound and to enjoy a fine chicken dinner. 
The grass really is greener on the other side.
