New Fence Posts for the Chickens

One of the ongoing projects here at Heartwood Cohousing is an expansion of the chickens. Right now there are about 15 chickens is a small pen. The "yard" is next to an ET bed (evapotranspiration bed). So we are expanding the outside yard to include the ET bed as a place for the Chickens to roam. Ultimately the ET bed area will be compartmentalized so that the Chickens will be rotated through different areas of the ET bed.

So yesterday We took an auger and cut about 15 post holes into the clay around the bed. Next step is to get the fence up and let the ladies roam.
