Alleluia!

It's raining seeds!


A rather fuzzy picture taken through the garden room window, shows the chickens enjoying the bits the sparrows drop (or deliberately chuck out!). It's like chicken occupational therapy. They rush up excitedly every time the little birds visit the feeder.

Must clean garden room windows!

Up-tails all!

All four digging around in the dirt. Just what a chicken likes. Amber decides to dig her own bit though.
Scratching about in the ever-fascinating undergrowth. They haven't left much grass here.

Something to scratch in.

After recent high winds the village is full of fallen leaves. I thought the chickies would enjoy a bit more litter to scratch in so after this morning's session with our village In Bloom group, I wandered up the lane with the wheelbarrow and filled it with autumn leaves.


While the ladies were out in their little 'field' I added the leaf litter to their run. When they got back they spent ages trampling it down to crispy bits and scratting in it. A great success, I think. I may go back next week for another barrow load.
