The bigger ladies devouring tomatoes
I had some overripe tomatoes I needed to toss and instead of just throwing them in the yard like I usually do, I needed to put them in the chicken pen. Our chickens are in a penned in area for a while until they start roosting and laying where they are supposed to and not all willy nilly up in trees and such. Our older chickens love scraps. They understand what it means when we come outside with a bowl. The younger ones, not so much. They tend to run away when things are tossed to them instead of investigating.
Anyway, I thought I'd grab some pics while they were distracted. Hope you enjoy meeting our flock!
A younger white one finally investigated the tomatoes.
Foghorn making his presence known. He is kind of a jerk. He will be leaving soon.
The chicken outside the pen sticking her head through the wire is Sugar Cube. She managed to escape this morning and hasn't been caught to be put back inside. She is elusive.
I've been calling this one Lady. I think she is a very pretty chicken.
This one has been dubbed Pigeon.
Pigeon again
I'm working on a post about a rooster of ours we have named Lloyd the Lonely Rooster. He lives with the sheep. He tries to join the other chickens but they always run him off. Poor Lloyd.
Hope you enjoyed meeting my chickens! Thanks for looking!
