The chickens have had to take a bit of a back seat to children recently. They dislike their routine being disrupted.
Here are my 2 Littlies, Alpia & Wrold, arriving for their food. I'm the Bees knees apparently.
Alpia decided some extra height was needed to gain the advantage.
I haven't had a lap hopper since Lottie.
Yes, I felt decidedly flattered that she chose to hop up on my knee before stuffing her face!
Most of the girls stop by my food station @ some point. Lots also like to get a little hand feeding too.
Lavender, the boofer, always hones in. It is easier pickings than hustling for a spot @ the main trough. The Campines are all gentle feeders & amongst those I'm happy to hand feed. Lavender & both Araucanas have nasty sharp beaks & I can't tolerate them for long. That's Aoife sharing with Alpia. Ha'penny had just finished off what was in my hand & was looking to oust someone.
