for the love of chickens





We started by adding three chickens to the family. Speckled sally, Houdini and Fabio. 
We wanted free ranging, happy chickens so instead of fencing them in we built a fence around the little veggie patch.  Houdini acquired her name by frequently being found in the veggie garden happily digging everything up.  Fabio reminded me of a large Italian man and Speckled Sally was unfortunate enough to be named by my housemate. The chickens laid delicious eggs each day and generated plenty of chicken love. 



In Summer our back garden was full of nectarines so we had fun making many bottles of jam and chutney.
