Picking Up a Chicken

[manda]

My girls eat anything that happens to walk in their path!! We have fruit trees and they just eat whatever's fallen until they are fed up with it..don't monitor them they kinda do that themselves.
The all come to he call which if they are a bit away I think is hilarious because they come swooping down the garden like they're terrified they are going to be missing out something fantastic.
Recently discovered they really like porridge made with water..well it was a cold day and I thought they might like somenthing warm for brekkie..hey I wasn't wrong..all munched up in no time! Better than the dead mouse they got very excited about

[Citrine]

Oh no! Would or did they eat the dead mouse????

I also gave them some melon this morning which they scoffed!

If you are eating melon, save them the seeds. They love them.

Manda, you said

Mine do too, their wings flapping as if they were just about to take off.

Mine too Mo. So lovely to see.
They have devoured most of the frogs. Even a dead goldfish the heron left behind yuk!!

I was so pleased when my ladies became realy tame and followed us around like lap dogs.... Now I try to sneek into the 'back end' of the garden without them seeing me because the minute they do they break into a gallop and try to beat me to the gate we've had to put up to stop them getting through the flower garden onto the patio and into the kitchen!! If they do manage to get to the kitchen door (which is glass) they get so anoyed if I dont open it and start making a horrendous racket and pecking the glass!! Like a scene from Hitchcocks 'the birds' :mrgreen:

Don't you get a lovely warm feeling when the follow you. I find that the trust they bestow (from what they were used to - ex battery) on us just wonderful.
