Free Range Chickens

A Little Light Entertainment.

Today it didn't rain. That sounds a little like "Small earthquake, not many killed" but after 4 days of driving rain it was such a relief to be able to let the chickens out of the run to have a proper look round their new surroundings. 



It took them about 15 minutes to cluck up the courage to come out but once they did it was delightful to see them stretching their wings and scratching in the gravel. They fought over grubs (and my plants) and found a splendid place for a dust bath. 



It turns out the kitten has sheep dog tendencies. Does this make her a Chicken Cat? At one point I could see 4 hens running away from a tiddly kitten. About two minutes later I could see a kitten fleeing from 4 chickens. Comedy gold! Chickens really are the best entertainment money can buy. Adding a kitten and sunshine to the mix really does make up for all the earlier worry.
