The birds are all out of their winter confinement in the greenhouse and free-ranging again (so excited!). Mostly out. They are free to come and go, for the last week or two since the snow has been going.
They are so happy! All the young ones (1-2 yrs) and the guineas spend all day out, pouring out of the greenhouse when I open the doors, popping back in when they get cold or thirsty, then back out.Inside, the older chickens are less adventurous and content to have the dust baths to themselves. I can't wait to move out the Silkies, but it will be cold for another week or so. 
The birds outside are partly PARTY! Excitement and adventure! And partly attacking their days like they have a job, and they're showing up to it late. Serious. So much to do!
They're vigorously scritching around in the woods everywhere. Now that they have the space, I can see the little cliques that have formed around each rooster. Three good ones.
