    Story

 Good morning Noelle,

Thank you for the article.  It is very true that when the chickens are
let out of their coop, they are not rambunctious, but are typically
quiet and graze calmly.  They usually make a sound of contentment.  Tim
is actually in the process of making them a stationary outdoor area that
is very safe from predators.  We still put them out in the outdoor pen
that we move around, but the stationary one will be good because they
will be able to move from their coop to the outside on their own.

Have you started your garden?  I know that you said that there is a
water shortage in your area.  Have you tried using mulch to keep the
moisture in?

I've planted some lettuces and peas so far.  The lettuce hasn't come up
yet, but I've been getting our greens from our neighbor who has a
greenhouse.  This last time we traded eggs for greens.

By the way, I love the idea of chickens in cities.  I know that there
are people in Burlington, VT who keep chickens and goats, as well.  When
we were in Germany, it wasn't unusual to see chickens.

Talk to you later,
Flora
