Today we took the chicks out to the low tunnel veggie patch for their first outdoor (kinda) experience. They seemed to like it. The bugs on the kale haven't got a chance with these energetic and hungry little chicks around. It was one of the best things we have ever done, just sitting with them in there, all warm in the tunnel on a cool Early Spring day, watching them be chicks. We talked softly but constantly to get them used to our voices and they seemed to be all right with us lying on the ground with them. We have manually removed bugs from our plants before, they seem to love doing it and to not tire. I love it when I find another step in my path towards living as a part of this place rather than fighting what it wants to be.
