Just recently I've really noticed how my chickens like to do the same thing, same time every day - sounds like I have too much time on my hands already this post doesn't it lol!!

well, chicken tikka, one of my black rocks she does the usual ablutions of a morning when we let them out but the second she see's us near the veg patch, she's there.  this chicken literally helps dig spuds up!! she scratches and lifts them but only when we are digging potatoes - no damge to the veg patch otherwise bless her.
At about 3pm she knocks on our back door, a 5 minute waddle from her run for crumbs. then goes back and scales the electric fence to return to her feathered friends.

when I milk the goat (only the evening milking this is) Maud, one of the white stars always flies into the field to chat to me (!) without fail. then I lift the leccy fence and she walks under again.

the others don't really do routine in the same way but I am really chuffed with my quirky girls!!

I love chickens and their habits.  They can make my day.  Mine love to sit under the same tree and mull over the day together once they've had their afternoon corn.

I love to watch our chickens, some time ago I posted that they defiantly have quite a large vocabulary and are often found to be muttering to themselves, one funny incident was when I put my hand into their hut one night to check if they were there as it was dark, and one sounded like it when "UH" like a human would do, they are a very entertaining and easy to look after useful pet!!!..provided to keep them away from your prize flowers and veg

And dogs!!!  Don't yet know how she escaped, but Scraggie Aggie had got into the back garden late last night!  I found out when three Brittanys went flying up to the gate in a  frenzy and I heard very loud angry squawking!  I managed to retrieve her myself before they did, and she almost took my hand off.   She was making the most awful wailing noise when I put her in the shed and shut them in for the night.  There were two loud wailings then it stopped, and I was sure that this morning there would be one less girlie coming out of the shed.  But no, there she was, looking a little more oven ready than yesterday but every bit as perky and antagonistic as before.   I've checked every bit of wire round their pen and can't find any escape route except the wooden gate.   can only surmise she squeezed her little body through the spars and jumped the now lowered back gate.  I'll just have to keep an eye out for her when the dogs are out.

Our 'Sickly Chick' is the only one who has the freedom of the whole place (soon to be revoked). In the short time since she has become mobile again she has discovered the kitchen and calls by once in the morning, once around lunchtime and then just before the pigs are due to be fed in the evening.
If the door is closed she leaves a present in front of the door - and I swear it is in exactly the same spot each time

i love the way they chatter amongst themselves if i do anything new in the garden, it's like they are having a committee meeting about it, they always examine anything new from all angles, blether and then move on to the next topic.
