On Grandma Tinka's suggestion, we let the chickens out to play in the yard Saturday. They had escaped earlier in the week and we had been able to get them back without any trouble, so I figured I could to it again.
So we let them out. Hillary had a blast. 
They seem to love to eat grass so she is always picking grass and dropping it in the hen house. So yesterday she was chasing them around with leaves saying "Heres a Chicken snack, here's a chicken snack." They just ran away from her though. But they enjoyed their time out and we got them back in the coop without much trouble. 
For those of you who haven't seen the coop or the chickens, here they are. They all lay brown eggs. We are getting 2 to 3 a day so if you come to visit you can have fresh eggs for breakfast. The kids keep trying to name them - but they keep giving them boy names and then they can't remember them anyway. Pat calls them my other children and I call them the girls. I guess it doesn't really matter since they never come when you call them no matter what name you use.
