Ali James' Garden Chickens

I think I have read peach pits contain cyanide.

The following all contain cyanide although I think it is very hard to achieve lethal levels they should still be avoided.

Thank you all, cyanide not arsenic. I knew it was something not good! I might continue to not give my girls apple seeds but will feel reassured if they accidentally ingest one.

Or a hay bale intact. They'll love tearing it apart & scattering it around.

I do the intact hay bale. Tons of fun for them.

So, I just caught up on everything. I am feeling cheated on photos. There are too many words and not enough photos of those gorgeous hens on this thread!

"We had the egg-laying song belted out loud and clear this morning. Echo might be a bit of an applause junkie..." @Ali James

Haha, that reminds me of what happened this week.

I heard an awful ruckus from the chook run. I went belting outside afraid someone had caught their leg in the chicken wire. No, it was Alice. She was standing in the coop doorway at the top of the ramp singing her egg song for the first time at the top of her voice.

It is the most raucous , out of tune sound I've ever heard from them. I thought she had lost a leg, not laid an egg!

I love people and chickens who sing loud even though they are terrible at it. Somehow it seems even more joyous.

Here is some applause for her.

LOL... I love that term; egg song.
