Enjoying Some Fresh Air and Filth

With the weather warming up into the 30's the past couple days, the chickens have been excited to come out of the coop and hang out in the dirt in the drive-under of the machine shed. They are too "chicken" to walk on the snow, so they are staying pretty close to home.

Here's George Michael, current Alpha Rooster, keeping a close watch on the flock.

Some of the ladies enjoying a dust bath.

Here they are rolling in the dirt. It must feel so good after so long in the coop!

Chickens are so much fun to watch. I can't wait for spring when they'll be hanging out in the yard all day picking at bugs and grass. Simple pleasures....
