The chickens are about four months old now. On the advice of a friend, we made a small pen out of snow fence behind the chicken house. We are allowing the chickens to acclimate to the whole "free range" idea, while establishing a home base. I sat with a video camera awaiting their first steps of freedom. However, all that we captured was twenty minutes of chickens ignoring us and then ten minutes of my hysterical laughter as Bryan attempted to "toss" chickens out of the chicken house. A week later the chickens are finally excited enough to come out. Although I must report that several have still never ventured into the light of day.
If you live in Iowa City be sure to support the IC Friends of Urban Chickens.
