Chicken Day

Today we're processing the first batch of chickens for the 2011 season.  We started earlier this week getting everything ready and last night at sunset we started gathering chickens.  These chickens are pretty lively so we knew we couldn't catch them during daylight without having them run off and hide in the tall grass of the pasture but what a nice night it turned out to be.  It was one of the best nights that we've had catching chickens.  A full moon that rose red out of the east along with a nice breeze made for a pleasantly memorable night.  We're getting ready to start the process so I'd better get moving.
