Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

The Chicken Dad went to Trader Joe’s today (for the Brits, vaguely similar to Aldi’s in the UK, and with links in the past), so now it’s Almond Day! The one time I have anything close to lap chickens.

At one point, Trudy grabbed the bag from my hand and took off with it.

Lil isn’t shy when the almonds come out:

“Well?!”

Buffy in the background, quietly hoovering up the forgotten almonds:

Manna from heaven:

The bumble says “hi, and why are you disturbing my peaceful afternoon?”

Beautiful hen? Which one is this?

This is (probably) Gin. The two Amrocks are such look-a-likes that Im not sure .

The babies under the anise hyssop, although they’re not so babyish any more. Both are pinking up, with Willow, two weeks younger, a bit more intense than Tessa:

Amrocks (and Barred Rocks) really are awfully similar in still photos.

Gin.

Two hours today. A little rain early afternoon but otherwise dry while I was at the field.
This young and rather misshapen apple tree is providing much better shade and interest than last year.

Out on the field. It's slowly getting greener.

Front fence is done.

Eating the new green grass shoots on the patch I've kept watering over the dry spell.
