Foraging

The grass has grown back in places on Chicken Field and fortunately for them (not for us!) the little area they play in has a blackcurrant bush - just behind the chair, and they can hardly wait for the fruits to start turning colour before they pinch them. It matters less now that we have the allotment which had 4 bushes, all un-chickened.

They love to rake around under the rose bush too, as it's shaded during the hottest part of the day. Topaz is under the Tayberry which is outside their little area but the branches reach across. They are surprisingly athletic when they want a tayberry!
