There’s nothing like a dust bath in the warm sunshine! Here you can see Ernest with May, having a cuddle! It always brings home to me how caged and battery hens miss out so much on an experience which all hens love. To see them, like this so happy and content always makes me smile.
The weather has been rather changeable but whenever we have a warm day the hens enjoy it so much.
Well, it is 3.34pm Tuesday and I have JUST finished the final wall paper stripping! Jon has some socket work to do, but my part is finally over and I can relax! Well not really – will be an early night for me as we are driving over to the Lakes tomorrow re Jon’s business – returning home tomorrow night - a long day but will take my camera along!
So – nearly time for the plasterer and I will be able to think about colours! Way hey!
What a sweet picture and great for the letter L. Sounds and looks like your kitchen is coming along nicely. We need to get our plan in order... soon it will be summer and time to get ours done.
ReplyDeleteSounds like your having fun with yours!

LOVE the colours in the chickens here! Maybe you should take a hint for the kitchen. lol They do look so lazy and cosy in the dust. Right now we have mud from the torrential rains that came through yesterday. :(

ReplyDeleteWhat a surprise! I never think of chickens cuddling! But hey! What do I know? :)
ReplyDeleteThey look so contented. It's wicked that some poor hens never have the chance to lead a proper life - likewise other livestock.

I think we all like a little sun on us!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it nice to see chickens behaving in the way nature intended? Too often we see them stuffed in to cages with no room to turn. How lovely to see them like this.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see them free!

Lovely cuddles ~ hope your day in the Lakes was good.
ReplyDeleteWhen you said "laying in the sunshine" I was expecting something else from the hens! Have a good day in the Lakes.
ReplyDeletehehe cute chicken couple laying on the ground.
ReplyDeleteHappy ABC Wed...enjoy your trip to the lake.
I have a similar photo of mt hens having a mud bath beside the plants in an old trough, gorgeous, and such characters. I don't know how they get away with battery hens still, it is so cruel.
ReplyDeleteI loved it when I lived near enough to the Lakes to have a (rather long) day out there. Love your hens too!
ReplyDeleteSo nice :-)
ReplyDeleteVery nice photo of the chickens and nice post too. Mine is up! ABC Challenge
ReplyDeleteDuring our Crops for Christchurch, some children brought their own eggs. free range, not battery.
ReplyDeleteHow nice to see some happy chicken and not the poor once in these chicken factories ! I bed you have the best eggs and at least they have some taste !
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet picture!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know chickens cuddled. I just think that is an adorable picture.
ReplyDeleteLove the cute cuddly photo! When we had chickens I was always amazed at just how much they could dig!
ReplyDeleteCute chickens cuddling cosily -- should keep this for 'C'day, Denise. Had our honeymoon in the Lake District at the Swiss-Lodore Hotel on Lake Windemere, outside of Keswick.(Feeling better daily. Thanks for the hugs!)D

This was the reason why I started blogging. It was to showcase my writing.
Of course, at that time, I didn't know any of you, so my writings were not read.
Thank you all for reading and commenting.
One of the neighbor's hens was pecking in our lawn ths afternoon. That's a good thing. Sometimes they prefer to peck at the cat's food.
