I thought I would pop on out to the garden this evening and see what the chickens were up to. Some of them were hunting for bugs in the grass. Good chickens! (Rosie in the front, Goldilocks, Poof, and Rosie in the distance). Yes, I have several Rosie's. You try telling several Golden Comet chickens apart on a regular basis! *grin*
Some of them were in the raised beds digging for grubs. Pink stopped just long enough to give me a runway model pose. (Pink and Tipsy Frizzlewinkle)
I'm not sure what these two girls were doing, but I'm pretty sure I was interupting whatever it might have been. (Bonkers and Lady Luck)
Some of them were pondering the meaning of life. (Buffy the Buff Orpington)
Some of them were watching, waiting, to see if I was going to toss out any snacks. (Heidi)
Some of them were enjoying the sunshine. By the way, this is Dolly... my, how he has changed!
Action shot! Some of them were kicking dirt OUT of the raised beds... (Heidi)
Some of them were hunting for grubs in my flower pots ... and doing a little dirt rearranging in the process. (Tulip)
Some of them were getting a higher view of the activities below. (Zonkers)
Some of them were on predator watch. Good chicken! (Sterling)
What's up, Chicken Butt! (Shy Girl)
And some of them were just being beautiful. (Lola)
Lola is a Bearded Buff Laced Polish. Isn't she a beauty! Check out her blue legs! I love raising Polish hens. They have the sweetest personalities, although sometimes they can be a bit punchy (probably because they can't see all that well with their big headdresses!)

I'll bet they love being allowed to dig and scratch to their hearts' content. Beautiful chickens! So colorful and so many varieties and personalities. {LOVE.}

Hi Rick! No the girls are not allowed in the garden much during growing season. :) I work too hard for that! I do let them out now and then but only when I have the garden beds wrapped with bird netting to keep the chickens, cats, and armadillos out if the beds.
Thanks!
-Anna.

OK...are they allowed in the garden during growing season?
Our girls loved our garden to death, if you know what I mean. My plans for abundant fall veggies turned to chicken feed!

Oh, I love your chickens, Anna! I can't wait for the day I get my own chickens. I am getting all sorts of ideas regarding what "type" of chickens I should get by checking out your gorgeous crew!
