Two Firm Friends

Watching the world go by, having a goss, girls together. This is Magpie on the left and Tufty Bar both hybrid crosses. Tufty loves sitting on the edge of the coup doorway in the sun chilling and Magpie, a social soul stands and chats to anyone who will listen.

It has been such fun and I've got to say it, a real time waster watching the chickens as they discover all the things in their world for the first time. Most amusing for me was watching them with the crow who comes down onto the lawn for the remnants of the bird food. One of the biggest chickens, a Blackstar hybrid,  tried to chase it off but when it came back she had second thoughts and kept looking behind her for backup. The clan, all lined up behind were egging her on ( no pun intended or was there?) saying, 'Go for him, get rid!' whilst sidling too round the other side of the coup in a pincer movement to see the events unfold. All I could see of them were 5 little heads stacked on top of one another behind the coup in alarm checking out the ramifications of Blackstar's actions. Cowardly custards the lot of them!
