Bug Patrol

This morning, the girls (a.k.a. the chickens) spent some time in the garden for the first time. Sam was pulling some weeds around the base of one of the raised beds, and found a nest of pinchy bugs. Well, the girls went crazy, snatching them up as fast as possible, playing keep away with each other, and just having about as much fun as a chicken can have. Besides eggs, this is one of the best reasons to have chickens. Our lettuce was getting full of pinchy bugs, and now their numbers will be severly reduced. After a while, they were looking a little worn out, and it was time to put them back. Tristan carried Delilah (his favorite, because she is the easiest to catch) and I caught him kissing the top of her little fluffy head. Oohh! Chicken love!!
