Unsecure chicken perches

[Busybird]

DS1 came home from school yesterday and immediately wanted to see his chooks. I am always pleased when the children want to be helpful so was happy for him to go out, give them treats, change their water and let them free range. He was out there for ages and when I looked through the window he was sitting on the swing hugging a chook and chatting away to it. Lovely I thought.

 

When he eventually came in he had mud - a lot of mud - all down the front of his school sweatshirt and trousers Well, it had been raining for most of the day and he wanted to hug each chook

 

How could I be cross?

I got my first chicken hug a few days ago. I almost cried it was so lovely.

There is nothing like the joy of hugging a chicken

What could be better than hugging a chicken and swinging at the same time. That would have made a great picture for the album. Cross! Never.

My four year old is the one out of all my girls who cuddles the chooks the most. Her favourite is Doris our bantam silver laced Poland. Doris is miniscule but more than happy to be carried around like a baby

Pity you didnt get a photo!

He did well catching her - mine are not at that stage yet! We still have to stalk them and get them cornered to be able to pick them up (had them since Sunday).
