chicken soup

Our chickens have an enclosed run to keep them safe from predators. Since we've been home, I've been letting them out to free range around the yard since I can keep a watchful eye on them. I was inside the house doing some quick chores when my husband pointed out that the chickens were shredding the flowerbed in the front yard - kicking dirt all over the walkway to the front door, pooping everywhere, and tearing out our tulips, dandelions, rosemary, and artichokes. Jokes on them because when we inevitably run out of meat, I'm throwing those sneaky mother cluckers into the soup pot. Desperate times call for dinner on the table.
