Onion and her birds
Onion continues to be completly tolerant of the chickens. Here she is quite happily allowing herself to be buried in the fresh straw which the birds themslves are thoroughly enjoying raking through. We do wonder whether this family will ever live in the stables with the other birds. They sleep there at night but from being let out first thing, to corn time just before bedtime, they are pretty much always in the barn. With the weather as bad as it is, it really is no wonder mind you!! We do get deeply irritaed with how they mess up the goat bedding and bring up the wet bottom layers at times, but equally we love seeing them in there and marvel at how close they are as a group. They are almost four months old now but are showing no signs of wanting to be apart!!
And those markings are mega pretty too!!
