They don't really go into the woods, usually just near the edge where they scratch up the leaves and find lots of bugs, worms and grubs. They seem to like scratching around the trees too. It's so interesting watching them. The new chickens aren't going farther than they can see the coop and they all stay together, which is good. Yesterday when the crows started flying and cawing, they all ran for cover. I noticed they all froze when they saw a buzzard fly over too. All good that they are learning and noticing their surroundings.
My older ones have been going down by where the blackberry bramble is. I wonder if they think it's safe under all those thorny bushes. Smart thinkin' chickens. LOL So far Captain Jack is keeping his girls away from the new chickens. I guess he knows how many roosters there are.
These big girls are Amaraucanas ( So is Captain Jack)
