Front Yard Poultry


 Backyard poultry may be the new urban craze, but I'm taking it to the front yard.  That's right, late winter is a great time to show off hens and chicks.  So succulent you could make a potpie from them?  Well, maybe not quite.  Just now, when I'm getting itchy for something to start growing, these don't just hint at flowers to come--they are a bouquet today.  A bonus: This mass of once molten rock, which looks like a milky quartz crossed with Swiss cheese, makes the perfect pen for my poultry.  I'm not gathering any eggs, of course, but then, there are no cages to clean.  Highly recommended.
