Often they go to the front area near the road and I love to see them scattered. They are so beautiful and I call them my movable lawn ornaments. I have a sign posted near the road that says &quot;Chicken Crossing&quot; and so far we have not lost a chicken to an automobile. We did lose a guinea fowl however.Granny Anniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18165058412950953296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2680664903011977089.post-19995462029075455742011-01-30T22:12:02.888-08:002011-01-30T22:12:02.888-08:00We have our entire backyard fenced in chain-link (it was like that when we moved in...). Anyhow, we started building our coop last spring, and by the time our girls were feathered out and had moved in our whole neighborhood stopped in to see! Oftentimes I look out the kitchen window to see families standing at the fence and pointing. Once in a while I grab a handful of black oil sunflower seeds to let the visitors have an up close visit. I love talking chicken, so really any opportunity to inform the public about sustainable living is golden!bandwidowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01689052910310933483noreply@blogger.com
