The Great Pumpkin Feast



Our little backyard flock of Plymouth Rock hens are great layers as well as being pretty feisty. Like all chickens, they eat anything and our Halloween pumpkin was no exception. Chickens are the ultimate recycling machines, which I love. Every kitchen scrap goes into the chicken run, much to their delight. I recently put up a sign in front of our house inviting neighbours to deposit their own kitchen scraps in the bin for our chickens and every morning I go out there to find several little bags of potato peels and leftover noodles and such, gifts for our girls and my little green heart. Amazing what we can all do if we just take some time to nurture small things.
