Snowy Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 The neighbours now think I am officially mad! Went out in the street and collected several buckets of leaves from under the trees across the road. Chucked in a couple of handfuls of dried mealworms and they quickly turned it into this: Cue some very happy chickens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen & co. Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 What a good idea hope you don't mind if I borrow it, and put all the leaves from our trees in with the girls, so they can turn them into compost karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted October 5, 2007 Author Share Posted October 5, 2007 What a good idea hope you don't mind if I borrow it, and put all the leaves from our trees in with the girls, so they can turn them into compost karen x Wasn't my idea Karen - I pinched the idea from here last year! I was a bit late with it last year so didn't get many leaves (didn't get the girls until November) so when I saw the leaves dropping and it's been such a glorious day, I took advantage - and took loads of pics! Both chickens and children have gone to bed worn out and happy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
