As a treat I thought I’d let my girls free range around the garden for the last few days.
I must admit this was mainly with the vain hope they would see my ever growing weed patch and clear it for me.
Having let them out to roam, I disappeared into the shed to do some “bits”.
A while later on leaving the shed, I found the girls had completely ignored the weed patch and instead were engrossed in searching for worms and “titbits” amongst my flower borders.
So now not only do I have to still weed my weed patch, I also have to replant what’s left of my foxgloves as well as sweep all the earth off the paths and back onto the borders.
I really ought to have known better really shouldn’t I?

My hens dig in the gravel so after they’ve been out 2hours I’m raking it back lol
Well you do know now!
Hens, being considerate creatures, love to show you how much they appreciate your efforts in growing them tasty morsels to eat; after all, it would be churlish to eat the weeds you HAVEN’T put there specially, whilst ignoring the flower beds you have painstakingly planted just for them…..!
