Daily chicken October 8

My helper buddy Farmer Sam was off school today!

This was a surprise to me. When I got home and he ran out to help, I about cried.

He helped with the feeding and watering, really our only chore for now.

The chickens really enjoy this section that I left unmowed. They rarely stray from it very far. I guess it harbors insects that they like to munch on. They eat the horseherb and dandelion there as well.

Maybe one day we'll be able to leave em out for longer than a few supervised minutes, but right now they're still small enough to be hawk bait.

Y'all have a good evening, I gotta head to work.

Stay relevant

Don't your children inspire you? What a sweet little helper

Oh, they're absolutely the best! Sam specifically. He and I had such a good time in the garden this summer and I've missed his help every morning.

Sophie is learning a lot about being helpful and the baby is still working on not kicking the chickens. Of course, after next summer, just when she's getting fun and helpful, Sophie will be starting school.

I had a chuckle at the "not kicking the chickens". My baby boy loves the animals. He tries to kiss everything. But once he's kissed them he tries to stand on them. I think it's a baby thing.

Hahahah kids are great!

Babo picks em up sometimes too. When he gets one he picks it up real high and says "look dad, look! Chicken!" The chickens just cheeps and cheeps, it's funny to watch.

howdy there nateonsteemit! hawk bait, that doesn't sound very good, are there alot of hawks around there? ha! glad the little chickens are doing great!

There were a lot over the summer, but I haven't seen any in a while. Still kinda scared to take the chance.

howdy today sir nateonsteemit! I don't blame you a bit. We have lots of vultures over here. We'll be out in the yard and see a big shadow go across the yard and look up and there will be a huge vulture cruising above looking for something to dive bomb!
