Creepy Crawlies

April 12th, 2009 .

Today Yu Lee’s mum came down to visit us and offered to help me dig a new border in my garden.  We have a flower bed which extends half way down one side of our garden, so today we extended it all the way down to the back of the garden.  Whilst Yu Lee’s mum did the digging I hunted for bugs and fed them ot the chickens which was great fun!  At first we found a few worms but eventually we started to come across some really horrible looking grubs.

We found loads of these and the chickens loved them!

When we gave any of the larger bugs to the chickens they would run around the pen chasing each other trying to get the bugs.  At one point we found a massive worm and they chased each other around for about 10 minutes before one of them finally managed to eat it.  At the moment the girls are all laying down in the pen so I think we have worn them out with all of the excitement.
