Breakfast time ...

Daily work ....

Let me tell you something : pastured chickens are happy chickens !!!!

You should see them when I first open the door of their coop in the morning ... they run the whole length of their pasture at least 2 or 3 times stretching legs and wings ... they are hillarious to watch ... then they calm down and start getting seriously busy ...

Scratching and searching all day long ....

.... roosting ....

 snacking ... .
