Spring in the Chicken Run... a Celebration of Warmer Weather!

It is finally warm enough to leave the chicken door to the coop open all night and put the platters of leftovers in the run instead of the coop!
I had gotten into the habit of placing their treat platter in the coop in the mornings because it was to cold to bother with the padlock on the run and because I did not want the platter to freeze to the ground.
Now that the weather has finally changed for the better, I am placing the treat platter in the run after 10:00pm when Farmer Fred, Gertrude and the other girls are sleeping.
In the morning, when Fred wanders outside, he let's the entire neighborhood know a full breakfast buffet has been set out for his little harem! I am absolutely sure the entire neighborhood knows he's awake and ready for breakfast.
His buffet for tomorrow morning will consist of leftovers Willie Mae brought me as well as a cabbage and a bag of greens. I'll add in any leftovers from today's meals and set it out tonight.
If lucky, newly emerging bugs will find it in the night!
Then they will have a wonderful breakfast buffet covered with fresh juicy delectable bugs!!!
