The black chicken is always the boldest, coming right up to me as I'm digging in the garden, waiting to grab something tasty.
So in this picture, you see the brown chicken & the b&w chicken having themselves a nice dust bath, the black chicken foraging. But before long, the black chicken would go over and join the other two, start pecking at them to make room for herself for a nice dust bath too, right in between the other two.
In the background, you see the progress of the cement path around the strawberry patch. Only did 200lb of cement today. Didn't want to over do it, I'm supposed to go to the weight room tonight. Since the path curves around a crop circle, the paver mold leaves gaps in between. I'll fill those at the end. See yesterday's entry on why there're bamboo poles all around the strawberry patch...

I apologize if I have already sent you a link to this blog:

But I think you are kindred souls and both good story tellers!
Well...I've just wasted an hour. It's a great blog, thanks for sending that, Helen!
that -is- a sweet blog. fingers, when are you going to get your own chickens?
Not sure...after this bout w/ these guys, I might've had my fix! They were (!) adorable, but pretty destructive. But on the 'were' -- the black one was taken by a coyote, and the neighbors gave the other 2 away. If I get some, it would be bantams, I hear they're a lot less destructive.
oh, no! so sad! we'll have to bring the chicken hats along with us to commemorate your temporary garden friends.
