Enriching the environment
The girls are having a good time exploring the garden and the small creatures they find there. They're starting to get a little braver with leaving the ground, occasionally flapping their way up to the arm of a chair, so I thought I'd make them a couple more things to explore.
I had some small logs around from pruning the tree, so I knocked up a little perch. They've given it a go, but you can't reach the food from there, so not that interested.
Chickens are supposed to dust bathe. Ours haven't so far. I suspect they don't really know how as they may not have had the space on the farm. I thought I'd give them a helping hand, so I cleared out an old stone plant pot, filled it with earth and DE (stuff to keep the parasites away. I dropped Big Boo in the middle of it to see what she thinks, but after a couple of circuits around the edge, she just decided to jump off.
Haha that's brilliant! They are getting on so well it's great to see.
