Chicken Exercise Hour today took place in the compost area, soon to be the Chicken Yard. In addition to showing them their future home, I was trying to introduce the girls to the wonder of digging through compost for bugs and stuff. They seemed to finally get it. (Some new videos of them pecking around here and here.)
Here's Liza, perched on the compost bin, while Joan looks in from below.
Debbie, Joan, and Carole were more interested in the ground around the bin than in being in the bin itself.
But with a small amount of persuasion, they were all happy to check out the finished compost and look for interesting things to eat.
Whenever anything weird happened to startle them, they would all freeze in this position.
But mostly, lots and lots of pecking around.
And the roost? I think they like it.
