There's an easter event happening in the garden this weekend, and someone thought it would be a good idea to get in a few easter chicks for the kiddies. This someone knew someone who had a chicken farm, and before you could say 'Simnel Cake' a box of eight day-old chicks arrived (they were the lucky ones. The rest are on their way to Sri Lanka packed 50 to a box).
I've wanted chickens in the garden for ages. So I swooped right in and claimed them. I went to the pet shop and got them a little heat lamp and some chick crumbs, and spent the rest of the day taking pictures of them.
As long as there are cute little cheepy chicks in the world, I reckon life ain't bad.
you can never have enough chickens!
