Every morning I make my coffee and head out for a "Chicken Check" to gather up the eggs, check on water and food and say good morning to my ladies, Hillary and Greta, and let them out to roam around the yard for the day. They spend the day hanging out in different parts of the yard at certain times of day, looking in my sliding glass door and, taunting my horrible cat.
When I do laundry they come running, taking turns trying to get in the laundry closet with me. I've caught Hillary hanging out in the dryer more than once. I think she thinks I like the dryer and wants in on the attention I give it. She loves attention and will hop up on the back table when she wants to get petted. Kitchen-chicken-scraps are always very exciting, grapes are one of their favorites... and mine too because it usually turns in to a chicken soccer match.
My favorite thing, besides the pretty blue-green eggs, is when I come home they run up to the gate and then walk me to the door. My little chicken entourage.
I really like the chicken mat.
