Day 254.

Bush eggs: none. Nest box eggs: none. Feed hopper: just shy of empty.

Nice day today, full of relaxing and scratching and mooching around. We played a game with The Female Person we called ‘Hide the Grass Seed’. What happens is she spends ages spreading grass seed evenly on the lawn outside her house, then another large amount of time putting a layer of straw on the seed, just enough to hide it. Then we come along and have a fantastic time scratching up all the hay and eating all the seed. The lawn looks quite odd now as it is covered in wee hillocks of straw and lots of bare patches. We didn’t want to kill what (little) grass is already there so we made sure to poop on the cobbles in front of the house – chicken poo can be quite acidic on tender new grass growth.

It’s considerate of The Female Person to find new ways of entertaining us.
