Pearl, Amber, Treacle, Marigold and Pepper, waiting to be let out.
Having a good poke around in the ground.
The potatoes coming through in the outside raised bed - fenced off from the chickens!
I managed to do some mowing today - still loads more to cut but it came on to rain so I had to stop.
We had a bit of excitement inside the garage today - one of the cats caught a mole and let it go inside the garage, so we had a lot of fun trying to catch it to rescue it! Moles are very noisy!
Amber hen has decided she likes being my pet chicken and she follows me everywhere. She sits on my shoulder sometimes :-)
Off to do more gardening and growing - it is a very busy time of year!
Hope everybody is doing well - don't forget to enter the giveaway!
So envious! I keep considering getting hens but then think I've no grass for them, not sure if they'd cope if I was having a low-energy week, and I have a lot of foxes and badgers around so I don't think they'd be very safe! A nice dream, however, I will live vicariously through your hen posts.
ReplyDeleteLovely to hear from you :-)
ReplyDeleteAn Eglu is pretty well fox proof, and hens can live on bark rather than grass ( they would rapidly trash the grass anyway) but yes there is effort involved in cleaning and moving the run to put down new bark etc. I have had many times where I could not manage if I did not have Compostman to help ( or sometimes even do it for me)
