... is a definite challenge!

 

Not least because we spent so much time laughing at their antics, we didn't get an awful lot done!

 

Step 1: Pick up Spade to dig hole for new (chicken proof ) plant

Step 2: Ginger comes running over, with Fred in hot pusuit

Step 3: Put spade in ground

Step 4: Chickens start jumping up and down with excitement

Step 5: Lift spade up, complete with earth and Ginger on top

Step 6: CAREFULLY lower earth and Ginger onto ground, while Ginger eats all worms can find in the dug up earth

Step 7: Try again to put spade in hole have started to dig, only to find Fred already in there - eating worms

Step 6: Ginger in eagerness to find ALL the worms in the waste pile, flings all the earth back into the hole on top of Fred

Step 7: Start all over again...

 

Wouldn't be without them!!!

So so true unjet funny we had the same thing yesterday when we was leveling out the garden but there were 8 all running in all directions with worms in there mouths.I could not watch

[Electricbarbarella]

we had the same here this weekend, I was moving the stepping stone path into a better positon, which meant a total of 12 holes and an awful lots of bugs, I also found a piece of old wood buried that was coovered in woodlice, they went mad for them

Hehe!!! They are so funny! They keep us enteratined that is for sure.

[Chook n Boo Mum]

My 3 chooks are certainly more hindrance than a help when I'm lobbing the compost across the garden - just because they were in one spot when I pick up the heavy forkful doesn't mean they are still there when I turn to fling it off across the garden! They look very miffed when wearing a liberal sprinkling of compost I'm so glad the Battie & Orpies can get out there yet, I'd never get anything done
