We have few chickens in our backyard but we can't have too many since we don't have enough space for them to run around. We had to make a separate, fenced space since our dog Layla is a killer. A bird killer, since she will kill any bird including the chickens in a second and there is nothing to stop her.
It's like this instinct she has to just kill the birds.
We try to let them out into the green backyard as much as we can so that they can enjoy eating the grass etc, since they love eating the grass and digging for some bugs under the banana trees.
We had to close Layla inside the house where she can't see the chickens because she just goes insane when she sees them.
The chickens love the banana leaves and when we don't let them out on our green space, we always cut few banana leaves and give it to them to eat and same when we cut the grass, we will just throw it into the chicken space for them to eat.
We also just had 9 baby chicks born this week so we wanted the mom chicken to walk around and show her babies around without the big chickens bothering them. I shared a video after the chicks hatched and will make new one soon, since they are so cute and so fun to watch.

So the chickens had a great day running around and enjoying their time and I hope the same for you, my dear friends. Have a lovely Saturday.
Wish you all a wonderful, happy and sweet Friday.
Love @joalvarez

Your birds are beautiful :)
Thank you @karenb54.
We are really enjoying them.
I can see :D
Oh, had no idea Layla is not a bird lover! :D
It's a lovely space you have, so green and it's amazing to see all the trees you have.
I just saw the other video with baby chickens and, oh my God, they are sooo cute and adorable! It's been a while since our grown chickens had a nest.
Great videos, my friend. I wish you a wonderful weekend!
Thank you @nicolina.
I know. Layla is terrible with the birds and she only kills them but does not eat them; just to kill. Very strange. Maybe she is a hunter dog. lol
I love when we are having baby chicks because they are so adorable.
Have a great weekend, my lovely friend.
Thought that this kind of chicks can only be found in Africa ,I don't know it passes Africa ,we call it here local fowl because they feed themselves by walking around the compound .they don't cause stress like the the one we call agric fowl that you will feed three times a day . Love the chicks .
About @surpassinggoogle we have just few people like him in this community and that is why his name is on the lips of almost every steemian because of the support he gives to encourage the minnows .
Have a super weekend .
Thank you @egbujorvictor.
These chickens we also feed twice a day, but we also let them out on the grass once in a while so that they can enjoy the grass and also look for bugs and plants to eat.
I agree. We all love @surpassinggoogle. He is definitely one of the most insipiring and amazing person on this platform. We are so lucky to have him on this platform.
Have a lovely weekend @egbujorvictor.
We have to keep our chickens and dogs separated too. Especially Lady. I have never seen a dog kill a chicken as fast as she does!
I'm glad to hear that our dog is not the only one, since I have not seen any other dog killing a chicken.
they look so happy Jo.
Is Layla jealous? hehe oh boy, poor birds :(
you have a beautiful backyard, so huge!
Jo, I nominated you #uloggers-mum

Thanks, Jo (sorry for posting the link here)
Have a lovely day Jo.
Thank you, my dear friend for nominating me for this awesome #uloggers-mum.
It looks so much fun and I'm ready to join in and have some fun.
