Lazing on a Suday Afternoon.....

Today was a real treat for the Chickens. We decided it was time to let them roam, we took away the the gate and let them out onto the garden. At first they were a little unsure and it took quite a while for them and mum to take the first steps across our patio and onto the garden. Needless to say once they had found it they seemed to be in seventh heaven, foraging around and exploring new pastures. Mum was ever so careful and protective, not letting them out of her sight. I find it so incredulous that the animal kingdom behave just as we do, nurturing and caring for their young. Here is mum keeping an ever vigil eye on her babies as they explore our flower beds.
Mum where are you...............
Later this afternoon, I walked around to check on them and found them all enjoying a dust bath, The babies joining in on the fun, Jill seems to be enjoying the bonding.
