This was taken the other day when the sun was out. Ethel never liked the rain or snow. She only likes to get her feet wet in a puddle during the summer when it it really hot out. Lucy is just the opposite - nothing bothers her.

Bugs
This is Ethel looking for bugs around a chopped up tree stump. Chickens just love to scratch for the creepy crawlies! It's good protein for them and it gives them a chance for exercise. When the ground is frozen, I scatter uncooked rice for them to hunt.

I was under the impression uncooked rice would kill a bird ?
ReplyDeleteNot at all Mamahen - mine have been eating it for years! It's not nutritious for a main diet, but having it as a treat is just fine. I keep the rice in a canning jar and when I shake that jar, they come running from all over. In the winter when it is bitter cold out, I even cook them a little bit of plain oatmeal.
DeleteAnimals are like people; they all have their own personalities.
ReplyDeleteThat's what makes them so much fun to watch - even as chicks you can tell they are all different!
