House Call

Yesterday Josh from San Diego Sustainable Living Institute (http://sdsustainable.org/) made a house call at the Point Loma Chicken Farm (my house!).  He helped me catch the chickens, trim their wings, and gave things a look-see to make sure I was doing everything right.

I specifically wanted their wings trimmed becuase little Oreo escaped from her cage the other day and it scared me to death.  Anyway, so we trimmed their wings (way less scary than I thought)...

Check out a how to on it here:

Then we spent some time with Oreo, since she's less scared, getting me comfortable with picking her up.  Now I'm ok with things, and not afraid to let the girls free range.

Thanks Josh!
