I s'pose I should have expected it with the footie on but left boys to watch over hens (they do pop and look for them) and went to work. OH then arrives 1/2 hr later and does dinner. I came home to find my buzzie lizzies had been scalped and the minxes had a go at the rhubarb but not got to my tomaotes which I had baracaded in. They have worked out if its near the house its either nice to look at or edible I have moved some plants to top of rabbit hutch but they are so flipping cunning - and we think foxes are cunning - they have nothing on my 3. Having tutted crossly at them they followed me in the garage where I keep their corn and then swat for a cuddle - cant be cross for long

Aw, how frustrating about your plants.

Hens really are clever about not missing opportunities and then looking completely innocent and charming aren't they?

Be careful with the rhubarb - it's said to be poisonous / not good for chickens.

Little devils aren't they? Thats the reason that my plants are in hanging baskets & in a separate area now. There were once 3 bottoms poking out of my mini poly tunnel. The poly tunnel was shaking & my sweetcorn, radish, beetroot & leeks totally gone! Hmmm

I just love my chooks though, so I soon got over it.

Yes I was surprised at rhubarb so have moved it. They are sooo devious - I laugh when i see feathery botts sticking out of undergrowth. OH isnt too happy re lawn as they have mad dust baths getting paddling pool out today not sure what they will make of that
