@PhoenixWren was saying the other day how atrocious it was that I did a tour of our gardens and didn't show the #chickenbitchez. It's so sad photographing them in their run, even though as you will see, we try to keep it as interesting as possible in there for them. I miss the free ranging photo shoots, but with our young plants all around the girls have to stay in their run for a few months more.

Chickens are only supposed to have 10% of their daily food be human food. Today I gave them some expired plain yogurt (yes, they love this so much and it's really good for them). They also ate more than a couple grubs that I found while planting potatoes. Their all time favourite food though is the pieces of sandwiches that the boys don't eat. The girls fight like crazy over sandwiches.

Ba hahaha, did I say weed? I meant weeds...chickens love weeds :) They've eaten every possible green thing in their chicken run, and love fresh greens so much. We're happy to provide those greens, and all just by doing much needed weeding.

The animal world has been speaking to me loudly. I have encounters every day with animals, yet it's usually small and quiet nudging. I was on my deck when all of the sudden two deer bolt from across the road into our yard going into the forest by the chicken coop. I haven't seen any deer since last year, they don't hang out in our area very much which is good for my gardens but sad because they are so graceful, noble and majestic. When I thought the fun was over all of the sudden one of the deer comes bolting back out of our yard, and clop clop clopped across the road back where she came from. Was the other deer being escorted to safety? I will never know...yet I do know that there is a message in this for me.

My next experience happened when I was inside the house. I heard the chickens just start going crazy making their pissed off chicken noises...and I swear I could hear a duck quacking...I went outside...

Beautiful STEEM #ulog Family...
Have you had any cool animal experiences lately?
Have you been sent a message, and if yes, do you know what it was?
