Lovely garden! I especially like the shot with the purple coneflower and herbs. Chickens surprise people. They each have their own personalities. I'm glad you're enjoying them! But do watch Diego. Any boy that attacks people might have to find a new home eventually.I've so fallen in love with my orpies and they didn't even start out as mine. My hubby and daughter had this grand idea of raising chickens for eggs and meat...I just rolled my eyes and went back to gardening.
They started out with Diego and Dora, our leghorns. A couple of months later they came home from the flea market with six chicks. Three red sex-links and three buff orps. I would talk to them while I weeded, or share my lunch (they love pb&j crusts), and I always brought them the clover that grows around my strawberry patch. Then Diego started jumping them and that was it. Both were afraid to gather the eggs, or egg, the others weren't laying yet...and the orps haven't laid yet. I am the only one Diego likes, so caring for our little flock is now my job. And I've fallen in love with them all. These are my buffies and their flockmates.
These are some of the best feathered Lavenders I've seen. What line are they from ?Here's a few of the Lavenders from today too- I love how this first boy is filling out- and some of my girls are developing some nice bloomers too
