In response to OwenLdn's post about gardening with chickens! Mine have been helping out today! Nutmeg helping with soil removal:

 

I put more pics in my blog rather than post them all here I should've got so much more done!

The girls look like they were busy! So were you - with the camera

She's really trying, you must have been so glad of that help.

I know its been said before but where did you get that egg spiral thing.

Nevermind, I found the site that sells them

egg-skelter.co.uk

Great photos. I love it when they do the scratch, scratch, step and look bit too

Great pics - aren't they helpful!

 

Tried to leave you a comment on your blog about where you got your chicken crochet pattern from?

Ahhh, glad you had a helper, gardening is much more fun when you have someone helping you.

 

Nutmeg is lovely and such a good name. What type is she?

Chrissie Nutmeg is a Merrydale Sweetie - she is lovely, very friendly!

 

Karlotta the crochet pattern is from an old magazine that a friend copied for me.

 

I had to banish them from helping today - we were trying to lay the slabs for the greenhouse base and we needed a nice flat surface

Latte is a Merrydale Sweetie but she is completely cream, she is my sons chicken, very friendly and lays darkish brown eggs that are almost spheres. She is very helpful too

Funnily enough Nutmegs eggs are spherical as well and deep brown. They are only small compared to the other girls of the same age, but she is very regular!

What beautiful laydees Snowy! Glad mine aren't the only ones who do that dance & love to help. Would be better if they chose to dance away from where my fork is swinging, but hey I'm just their slave who digs to feed them lovely snacks

 

Nutmeg looks just like Snowdrop who's an Amber Star, I assume same "mix" just different breeder name.

 

Had a quick peek down your blog - what a treasure trove you found in the loft, I did similar in a box my Mum had filled for me a few weeks ago now. Most of the offcuts I recognised, I have no idea what the mile of yellow felt was all about though
