The organic garden has had a few chickens for a while now, and we love having them there. The benefits of chickens are numerous: pest control, wonderful organic fertilizer, & delicious fresh eggs ”produced” right in our garden.

That was a while ago, and our not-so-tiny chicks just moved outside this week! There’s plenty of pictures, so take a look at their big day in the big new world (and if you’re a proud chick parent or if you’re just curious, come visit them in the garden)!
