Spring clean for the chickens

Friday's task was to clean and disinfect the chicken coop and feeders, and to apply mite powder to the girls and their home. This is easier said than done because the huge grey one, whilst being totally in charge, is terrified of coming near people despite my best efforts. Eventually success was had and the girls were happy.

I put garlic in their water for their immune system and left them digging about in new straw, smelling sweetly. They are as ready for spring as we are now.

I love to see them happy and healthy from our kitchen while I'm cooking!
