chick-chick-boom-boom!
…that’s what Samo keeps saying, anyway. He just randomly says it: “Chick-chick-boom-boom!” in his sweet little voice. He’s just darling like that.
We found our hens, but Sol is still lost. :’( I miss dat wooster. We are getting one to two eggs a day from them now, which is encouraging, I think. :) We keep them in a temporary cage so they are out in the yard grazing all day. We keep them in the big dog cage at night, with the back end of it open and the doghouse butting up to it. It makes for a nice nesting place for them to lay their eggs and that’s where they like to sleep.
We give them all our scraps. Well, not all of them, because we do give some to Pearl too. But they sure do love mushy bananas and pineapple skins! That’s what they’re eating in the photos. ;)
You ever tried to photograph a chicken that is pecking at something? It’s hard to capture them without their heads being blurry. It’s easier to photograph their feet. Hehe! :P It is fun to try tho. Those red hens are so funny and I love their colour.
But I am extremely glad their back; I missed our chickies!
as ever,

The dog cage and dog house is a good idea for keeping the chickens safe! :)
And yes, I know what you mean about blurry hen heads – I get the same thing when I try to take photos of mine pecking. :P
Our hens won’t eat kitchen/food scraps. I have no idea why. They is weird like that. :(
