Rooftops and caulis

Upwardly mobile chicken!

Amber and Garnet are the intrepid mountaineers of the bunch, Amber being the keenest to get a good view! Just before I took this picture I was walking back from the greenhouse and she was desperate to see what I was doing. She flew up and scrambled to the pointy top of Beak House to eyeball me.


She likes to keep track of me in case I have a handful of weeds she can help me with. I hadn't, on this occasion, as I was coming back from noting the Max/Min temperatures.

In the chickens' opinion, people leave the best bit of a cauliflower. Our elderly neighbours are cauli addicts and bring the outer shell for the girls' delight and delectation.

Cauli waste in exchange for a few eggs? Your neighbours aren't daft, are they?

I won't hear a word against him - this is the chap that got my me first half allotment!
