Moving Day

a pigs 010Well actually two.  Thursday after midday meal Ken was ready to move the pigs, so we did!  They had dug up their area and gladly moved to the next.

Ken chose a woodsy location so they can stay cool in the summer heat.

The geese range through the former pig area – they are gleaning any stray grain along with the wild birds

The next morning before letting the chickens out, Ken moved the egg mobile and I helped move the poultry netting.  The chickens, too were ready for new space and also have shade.

Ken has liked how this portable coop has worked out and is thinking of building a smaller version for the younger birds – the ones I call tweens – that aren’t quite old enough to enter the main flock.
