The chickens line up for treat time...

[PrairieChickens]

Today my dad had to pull a bunch of melons that were going bad on the vine, but they didn't go to waste!



As soon as he wheeled the wheelbarrow into the run and sat down, they knew that something good was about to happen.




Even the shy chickens did not hang back when the watermelon started hitting the ground.




This is one happy flock of birds.




Goldie was not satisfied with the selection on the ground. She wanted to pick out her own melon.

Ours weren't sure about it at first, but now they can't get enough of it.

Spoiled. Rotten.

Back when it was hot, I even built them little cinder block huts that I could spray the hose on and give them an "air conditioned" place to get out of the heat. (You can see them in the background of the first pic.) I also bring in bags of leaves now and then for them to dig and wallow in. They live better than I do, I swear.

They sure love their melons, don't they? I love it! Thanks for sharing!

My neighbor's golden comet that I dubbed 'Mooch' will do anything for her mealworm treats! She's hard to miss in a flock of ten birds

You have an energetic bunch as well!
