One day I'll have chickens in my back yard. In the meantime I visit these chickens. They belong to Spike, the friendly goat of a previous post. And live all around the bees. I wonder if bees sting birds?

Chickens
The thing that I am most excited about in my new-to-be garden is CHICKENS! I'm planning to have 3. They'll need to be fully grown, or my cats might decide they are called breakfast. And I was thinking of names like Mrs Cluckcluck, or Lavinia.
These chickens in the picture live down the road from me. I was walking past a couple of weeks ago and stopped and chatted to the lovely lady who owns them. She showed me how she fed them - the pellets and chicken mash. And the step-on feeders and other bits. Chickens seems so friendly and companionable.
I keep wandering around my clay patch envisaging 'chicken run here' or 'chicken run there'. Do I put them tucked away in the back corner? Or plonk in the middle where I can see them? But I think, as one of my friends said last night, they will be my pets, more than egg production units, so plonk in the middle I'm thinking, where I can see them from my kitchen window.
