GARDENING WITH CHICKENS... SIMPLE -YOU CANT!!
As our chickens have quickly learnt that we are an interesting and valuable source of food supply they all appear as soon as we do at the gate jostling for position so as not to miss out on anything.
Today I tried to do some basic gardening - mainly repairing what the chickens had destroyed, which involve trying to spread the small pebbles back around the paving and the edge of the sheds and trying to contain some of the bark chippings back behind the small picket fence in the boarder. And removing what's left of the little delicate plants that where in the pots that they have either sat on or just pulled out for fun.
I also raked over the grass (ha ha grass!!!) to which I was mobbed and then on trying to pick up anything from 6 inches or below became attacked by Amber and Harriet who desperately wanted the buttons of the cuffs of my shirt. They have a thing about buttons - I don't know if these chickens are the full packet!!
Never the less we love em to bits... I did manage to get some good pictures of them today though, although the best one I missed. that was when sapphire decided to fly up to the window sill and have a staring competition with two Labradors and a Staffie. Who, I have to say don't take much notice of them anymore.
Our Kittens came outside for the first time today and just couldn't make them out at all. I'm not sure what the chickens made of them either but they didn't seem bothered when they cornered our neighbours cat under the patio table in a Mexican Stand-off!
