Our chickens like to get outside in the spring. It doesn't seem as if there is much for them to eat yet as they scratch around the yard and garden areas, but we have noticed that they are eating less purchased feed.
The biggest change is in the taste of the eggs! The egg yolks have much more color and taste when the chickens can get out and forage for food. Yum. Now, THIS is why we raise our own chickens. 
And the bonus for Easter is that we don't have to fuss with dyeing eggs.
I hope that they enjoyed their jaunts in the yard this past week, as it is snowing today. We have several inches already, and a total of 6-10 inches of snow is predicted to fall by morning.
