Happy Chickens on the Farm

There was beautiful weather this weekend and all the animals on the farm where very happy especially the chickens. There are over 25 chicken coops some with as few as two chickens and the bigger coops have about 50 chickens. The cleaning and feeding takes about 2 hours and during that time i not only clean and feed but i get to interact with everyone which is a big highlight for me. I have a schedule for cleaning so that everyone gets a good cleaning and hay change at least twice a month. Last Saturday I was cleaning the big coops and after removing all the old hay and replacing it with nice fresh hay you can just tell that the chickens where very happy. When the chickens are happy it seems to increase their egg production as well as the quality of their everyday life and that makes me happy. I go again this Tuesday to the farm so check back because more baby goats are on the way and i am sure there will be more interesting stories to tell.
