Spaghetti!

Gave the girls some left over spaghetti today, they went mad! Running off with it in their beaks, and trying to grab it off one another! I don't think I have laughed so much for ages!

Yesterday C has been out visiting the various hardware stores, purchasing wood and netting, today he has been creating a new framework. We are designing a bigger run for them to be safely out and about while we are at work.

The cat ran away frightened when she came across a chicken so I think they will be safe! However there is another reason for the pen. When we first thought about getting chickens I thought it would be wonderful to let them waddle across our garden. C spent a lot of time creating lovely decking and seating areas, with nice flower borders and pots here and there. Now knowing how much they love to peck plants and the amount of poo they produce we thought it better to confine them to one area! Although it is supposed to be good for the garden, it doesn't look nice on the decking!
