Our chickens, despite the awful cold and wet weather, love nothing more than rolling about in the dirt! They were really happy when we dug up the veggie patches as it mean they could have the ultimate dirt bath.

Every now and then we get a really odd egg like this tiny one!

These are our three lovely chooks. They’re scruffy because they’re ex-battery hens and arrived in a pretty poor state. They look much better now than they did when they first arrived. We’ve had them for a few months now and they’ve settled in well. They love the dry weather because it means the soil turns to dust and they can bathe in it. They also like scratching around in the dirt for creepy crawlies and plants to eat. Their eggs are yummy and it’s great knowing that they’re from happy hens. I grew up with chickens and I’m so glad we’ve got them again. I’ll never buy an egg from a shop ever again :)

Pixie likes to watch them, Arty and Oscar and big scaredy cats and run away!
