S1:E12 100 New baby chicks, kayaking & addressing our rush problem

It is the end of spring and we are getting ready for the summer even though it still feels like the start of spring. Freezing night time temperatures have stunted grass growth so it would be great if summer brings some warmer temperatures.
I trial a new tactic of reducing our rushes on the pasture.
We go to collect 100-day old chicks form the hatchery and bring them home to their new brooder.
We utilise the wonderful river Shannon that runs along the bottom of the farm on the hottest day of they year so far.
