We grow and learn

One thing I love about farming and nature in general is that it's always changing. You have periods where life is just bursting all around you and then there are times of peace and meditation. I learned that letting your chickens completely free range is not very self sustaining. It can quikly turn into a battle with the predarors you can't win. That's why I hav them in a chicken tractor that I move around the yard with an electric fence surrounding it. We are down to 51 chickens out of 125 we started with last year. Our predators were foxes and coyotes.
