Lavenders_Blue Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 It has been hailing here on and off today Three of my four girls have very sensibly taken cover and stayed dry until it passed over. My oldest hen Bella (who I can only assume is going senile in her old age) has been dashing about in the run eating the little hailstones What a daft old bird.

Purplemaniacs Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Ahh how funny My bantam babes fight over who eats any bits of ice in the glug when I have to break the ice in the morning. Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Araucanas seem to be congenitally stupid and mine always stand out in the rain and have to be herded and shut in the run when the weather is bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saronne Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Mine have been eating hailstones AND blossom petals falling off the large cherry tree next door. They must think it's manna from heaven! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
