This is one of our very special girls, her name is Marigold and she is one of our 6 chickens that lay the most beautiful eggs every day! At the moment she is in one of my freshly planted flowerbeds and she is having a sandbath. You can see how much sand she has dug out, this section of the bed looks empty, so I have given up the idea of planting anything in here because this is the favourite bath spot! Our chickens range free for most of the morning and afternoon and only come in when they want to lay. We add their poop to our compost heap and it makes fantastic compost which, when ready goes into our veggie, fruit and herb beds before we plant a new crop. They are so tame, we have had them since they were a day old, when we walk outside they run around after us! We love our specials girls!
