Chicken cherry pasture
The current chicken
pasture I'm working on is a challenge due to 90 percent of it being
on a steep hill.
It should make it harder for
deer to find their way down to us. I would guess over half of all our
deer incursions came from this direction.
We planted a cherry bush in
this area which is looking good and should be an excellent source of
protein for our flock once the cherries start dropping.

Thanks BeninMA, I knew I'd find another listener out there.
I understand you not wanting to go on the show. If you ever reconsider go by the site and check it out I'd like to hear you guys on there.
BeninMA --- I appreciate you saying that! I thought I was pretty terrible.
But maybe it's a skill I should work on...perhaps this winter....
Mike --- Actually, several folks have recommended that podcast to me. It seems to be very well received!
You really did it. I haven't listened to it yet but I'm sure it's good. My brother just got some chickens, I need to tell him to listen to the episode and pickup one of your waterers.
